Queer Ancestors: An Exhibition of Prints by Queer Young Artists at the LGBT CenterQueer Ancestors: An Exhibition of Prints by Queer Young Artists Free Artist Reception With Print Sale Queer young artists are turning to the past to carve a sound legacy for the future. They find ancestors to guide them and with bent blades create bold accounts of buried history depicting the jotas, drag kings, faeries, trannies, dykes, musicians, writers, activists, and other Queer ancestors who never made it to our history books. Some are imagined histories, created from sweat and need; others are familiar, including Harry Hay, José Sarria, Arthur Evans, Zora Neale Hurston, Divine, Cherríe Moraga, William S. Burroughs, Bayard Rustin, Keith Haring, Claude McKay, and Freddie Mercury. Documenting their encounters with the past and creating images from their own experiences of love, lust, violence, fear, and rapture, Queer emerging artists pave our path to the future. The San Francisco Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Community Center & The Queer Cultural Center present "Queer Ancestors," prints by Erika Vivianna Céspedes, Jeffrey Cheung, Ángel Espinoza, A. Lolade Gbadebo, Alan Guttirez, Haruka Kelley, Justin Time, Brandon Middleton, Brianne Moore, Eva Ovalle, and Anna Robinson. Exhibition: January 18th to February 16th. This exhibition generously supported by The San Francisco Arts Commission, The Queer Cultural Center, SOMArts, Chrysalis Studio, The LGBT Community Center, and The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
