About a few of the artists: Marina Grize is a Southern California-based artist who uses collage, poetry and contemporary media to consider the politics of care. Through collection and interpretation, she explores queer identity, perception and desire. Her works "I Think I Want To Be As Beautiful as the Ocean (Jules) 1 & 2" at The Brown Building. Tarrah Aroonsakool is a queer, first-generation multi-disciplinary artist from San Diego, using watercolor not to paint a pretty picture of humanity, but an honest one, using found material and stylistic choices, while blending unconventional materials and the beauty of conventional realities. She uses common household items like cardboard, rice, tea, salt and coffee in her work. Ally Pizzo is a dark, figurative artist who uses mediums such as graphite, ink and watercolor to express themes of identity, depression and isolation. Many of the subjects in Ally's pieces are references of actors and models from the 1920s or self portraits. See their piece "Sacrifice" in person at The Brown Building. Xochi Perez is a queer, Latina film photographer based in San Diego using 35mm film. The photographs featured in this show were taken during the "dyke march" in New York City. Arnold Barretto is a Middle East-based fine art photographer, designer, book artist and printmaker. Currently he is working on photographing the gay community in the Middle East with an extra emphasis on sensuality which is often seen as obscene. All portraits included are faceless to protect the identity of the models while also commenting on the lack of visible identity that they quee community has here.

Yolanda López: A Studio of One’s Own will reflect on one of the most important Chicano/a/x artist and activist who worked in California over the past five decades, with a special focus on the art produced during her time as an MFA (1979) in the Department of Visual Arts. Yolanda López was born in San Diego in 1942 and passed in 2021. The title for the panel echoes the playful take on her first solo museum exhibition Portrait of the Artist at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, Downtown. The exhibition presents a compendium of López’s work from the 1970s and 1980s, when she created a vivid body of paintings, drawings, and collages that investigate and reimagine representations of women within Chicano/a/x culture and society, and where UCSD looms large in the work. Panelists: David Avalos, Cal State University San Marcos Alana Hernandez, Celebración Artística de las Américas Alessandra Moctezuma, San Diego Mesa College Susan Mogul, UC San Diego Alumx Moderator: Ricardo Dominguez, Department of Visual Arts This event is co-sponsored by Chicanx and Latinx Studies, Visual Arts, Latin American Studies, and the Institute of the Americas.
