"I hope we wake to a body we love" is a performance exhibition that ruminates on death, rebirth and belonging through the endurance practice, a practice of waiting. In a world already violent, Jun! offers a critical sustainable approach to difficult endurance performances that confront death by offering a space where death, pain, love, and intimacy can coexist simultaneously. In doing so, Jun! reframes endurance as a practice of waiting for a better future, a future where we can wake to a body that we love. Join Jun! at her performance on April 21st beginning 4 p.m., where she explores the concept of rebirth in the liminal space of a car. After the performance, catch the Q&A for "I hope we wake to a body we love," moderated by performance scholar Alejandrina Medina. "I hope we wake to a body we love" will run from April 19th to April 26th open daily from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the SME Art Gallery, 1st Floor at University of California San Diego.

In "AS THE SUN WOUNDS THE SHADOWS," Nathan Storey presents various bodies of work, such as "Traces and Stains," that propose printed matter as a facilitator, witness, and residue of gay desire. Storey's artistic practice explores the intricate relationship between printed materials and queer memory, collectivity, liberation, and loss. Words and images are printed, photographed, re-printed, re-photographed, collaged, and so on, recontextualizing gay and queer materials from collective and personal archives, blurring but not erasing the seams.–Dillon Chapman Reception: April 5 from 5 - 7 p.m. Performance: April 12 at 5 p.m. On Display: April 5 - April 12, 2024 Visit: https://visarts.ucsd.edu/people/grad-students/nathan-storey.html https://www.nathanstoreyarchive.com/
