We’re living in times that will be told in history books for many, many years to come. While some may be reimagining a better future, they’re also looking to the past for answers. How did our ancestors overcome days that were like thiese and worse? This came to mind for Host Jeneé Darden when she saw “Conjuring Power: Roots and Futures of Queer and Trans Movements.”
The multimedia art exhibition features works inspired by the history of resistance of trans and queer communities. Tina Valentin Aguirre and Caro de Robertis curated the exhibition. Tina is a documentarian, poet, and director of the Castro LGBTQ Cultural District. Caro is a creative writing professor at San Francisco State University and an award-winning writer.
“Conjuring Power: Roots and Futures of Queer and Trans Movements" is currently running at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco until August 23.
