SUMMARY:Artist Talk - The Artist Oeuvre Series: Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Gay Now\, Gay Later & Amor No Binario \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for an afternoon of conversation with the Anna Raquel & Nayelli Rosas the artist behind Gay Now\, Gay Later & Amor No Binario\, respectively.   \n\n\n\nThis conversation takes us through the creation and curation of each powerfully stunning art project that celebrate queer joy. Raquel & Rosas reflect on their exploration of gender expression\, safe placemaking\, and cultural ties; while amplifying the importance of queer visibility.  \n\n\n\nRSVP by clicking the button below. Please note\, seating is limited. Seating priority will be given to early arrivals\, elders\, and people with disabilities. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP HERE\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Projects \n\n\n\nGay Now\, Gay Later explores tattooing as a form of community care\, queer expression\, and cultural storytelling within San Francisco’s queer Latinx communities. The project reinterprets the classic Chicano phrase “Smile Now\, Cry Later” — popularized through Chicano tattoo culture and artist Freddy Negrete — to center queer Latino identities and experiences through Chicano-style tattooing. \n\n\n\nRooted in the artist’s Latina heritage\, queer identity\, and Bay Area upbringing\, the work combines Chicano and American traditional tattoo aesthetics with queer visual culture. Through hand-drawn tattoo flash sheets\, documentary-style video\, and film photography\, the project highlights themes of gender affirmation\, bodily autonomy\, self-expression\, and collective healing. One flash sheet references drag\, ballroom\, and leather cultures\, while another draws from San Francisco iconography including Victorian houses\, local wildlife\, area codes\, and street culture. \n\n\n\nDeveloped through free tattoo sessions with queer BIPOC participants across neighborhoods such as the Mission District\, Tenderloin\, Bayview\, and Excelsior\, the project foregrounds tattooing as an intimate\, service-based practice rooted in storytelling and human connection. Participants shared how tattoos can memorialize personal histories\, affirm identity\, and create confidence and belonging. By documenting these experiences\, Gay Now\, Gay Later positions the body as an archive and tattooing as a practice of visibility\, care\, and cultural preservation. \n\n\n\nAmor No Binario explores the intersections of queer identity\, relationships\, and cultural expectations within the Latinx community in the Bay Area. Through interviews and portrait photography\, Rosas documents the lived experiences of six queer Latinx participants with diverse identities\, including nonbinary\, femme\, masc\, and trans individuals. \n\n\n\nCentered on storytelling and intimacy\, the project combines hour-long recorded conversations with portraits created in spaces personally meaningful to each participant. Emerging from discussions around queer love\, chosen family\, gender exploration\, rejection and acceptance\, public visibility\, and intergenerational memory\, the work examines how identity is shaped through culture\, environment\, and community. \n\n\n\nThe resulting photo series captures moments of vulnerability\, confidence\, and connection while reflecting resistance to restrictive ideas surrounding gender\, sexuality\, and cultural norms within Latinx communities. Clothing\, jewelry\, religious objects\, and personal style become visual markers of memory\, nostalgia\, and self-expression. By foregrounding authentic experiences of queer Latinx life\, the project invites viewers to reconsider conventional understandings of identity and embrace the complexity and many forms of queer love\, belonging\, and selfhood. \n\n\n\nAbout The AO Series \n\n\n\nThe AO Series represents a significant investment in San Francisco’s creative arts sector\, directly funding 15 artists and regranting $250K over the past two years. This series highlights the work of six grantees\, offering the public an opportunity to experience the depth\, regenerative spirit\, and at times collaborative nature of each artist’s completed body of work. \n\n\n\nThese projects were made possible through the ReGen Artist Fund\, a small grants program that pairs financial support with professional development. In addition to funding\, participating artists receive training in grant writing and program planning\, equipping them to develop competitive proposals for future opportunities. The fund is as much a commitment to artistic growth as it is to community investment. Encouraged to think critically about how art can reshape societal narratives\, these artists examine their roles as cultural bearers while addressing stories and perspectives often overlooked in today’s politically charged climate.

SUMMARY:ReGen Artist Fund: SF Imprint by Isabella Gordillo
DESCRIPTION:Galería de la Raza is excited to present SF Imprint\, a ReGen Artist Fund project by grantee Isabella Gordillo. \n\n\n\nSF Imprint is a photographic exploration of post-pandemic San Francisco. For many working-class residents\, this moment is defined by grief—not only the loss of loved ones\, but also time and opportunities. Despite sorrow\, joy persists and evolves. \n\n\n\nIt’s not hard to notice national and local media’s sensationalization of San Francisco’s current state. While people’s struggles to make ends meet\, find housing\, and survive are evident\, the headlines rarely convey the full gravity of these issues with understanding or asking why. In contrast\, SF Imprint examines moments of care and resilience—moments of environmental stewardship\, fighting for humanity\, or dancing in the streets. These moments of hope and solidarity are essential in setting a new standard for how the community is valued. \n\n\n\nThrough this zine project\, SF Imprint asks “What is the imprint we leave on the City? How do we honor ourselves and fight for our humanity?”. SF Imprint encourages you to be a participant and join in action and engagement with your community. \n\n\n\nJoin us on May 17 for the zine launch and photowalk led by Isabella Gordillo from Mission Dolores Park to Galería de la Raza Studio 24. The day will feature a guided photowalk and community reflection. Isabella will be joined by their mentor and photographic artist Janett Perez to provide an insightful overview of documentary photography and share her expertise. \n\n\n\n Following the photowalk\, a reception will be held at Galería de la Raza Studio 24 at 2:30 pm where you can relax\, enjoy food and refreshments\, and grab a copy of the SF Imprint zine. \n\n\n\nPhotowalk- 1:00 PMMission Dolores Park18th St. and Church St.(meet near the restrooms) \n\n\n\nZine Launch Reception- 2:30 PMGalería de la Raza Studio 242779 Folsom St. Suite ASan Francisco\, CA 94110
