Join AGCC’s artist talk with Ben Cuevas & Jynx Prado, as they intertwine materiality & identity through diverse narratives. Join us via Zoom on Sep 26, 6:30 pm PT.
Angels Gate Cultural Center (AGCC) presents an engaging artist talk featuring Ben Cuevas and Jynx Prado, two visionary artists whose works converge at the intersection of fiber and performance art. With a shared mission to challenge boundaries and reimagine conventional norms, Cuevas and Prado invite audiences to delve into their diverse narratives. Cuevas, drawing inspiration from their queer, non-binary, HIV-positive, Latinx identity, seamlessly merges textiles, photography, sculpture, installation, and performance, resulting in art that reclaims spaces and voices silenced by history. Prado’s sculptures, composed of mixed fibers and found furniture, embrace gender fluidity and confront societal preconceptions, seamlessly intertwining humor, history, and symbolism. Both artists bridge the past and present, using their work to foster a new era of intersectional queer culture while inviting viewers to embrace the warmth of human connection.
