BENT LA: Queer Artistic Visions

Hi Lovely people out in cyber land. I'm back from my vaca (more on that soon) but here is some info on my next curatorial endeavor.
Bringing together a mosaic of established and emerging artists, the curators of BENT LA: Queer Artistic Visions (Tina Arroyos and Laura Placencia) hope to encourage artistic dialogue between artists of different aesthetics, generations, genders, sexual orientations and cultural backgrounds. The curators also hope to be able to provide a safe space for not only queer artists, but the people who appreciate their art.

The show will run from Nov 5th- Nov 15th 2008 at Casita del Pueblo in Whittier (6738 Greenleaf Ave) The opening reception will be held on Nov 8th from 7p-10pm with sounds by Jareth and a special Birthday set by DJ Nova Jade *

The unsaid good-bye

This is the piece that came out of the delta dandi master class that I took with Sharon Bridgforth. She took us on a very emotional journey. A lot of it had to do with our matralinear issues, but I felt that this issue was what I was there for, so I chose not to go the 'mom' route. I instead dealt with other issues. I feel so relieved. I feel like this was an answered prayer. I thank Sharon and ALL the other muxeres in the class that made me feel safe enough in the space to be able to share something so deep with them. Now that I have performed this piece, I think that it's best to release it to the universe as my prayer to 'Hir'

The Unsaid Good-bye

I heard a quote today…it said ‘what starts in chaos, ends in chaos.’

We started in chaos. I hope you know that. And, unfortunately, we ended in chaos.
I would like to think that you and I loved each other in the beginning. And, that we continue to love each other, even if in a different way than the way that we started. I want to tell you how I feel about our beginning and how much it was like an explosion. Yo me acuerdo de todo. Me acuerdo las primeras conversaciones, las primeras caricias. Nunca me olvidare de la primera vez que te vi en persona. Ohhh girl, you took my breath away. I was doing my best not to faint. I immediately felt a connection with you the first time I looked at your eyes. It felt so good to have a connection with someone like the one I had with you. I felt like, with you, I could conquer the world. Nothing could stop me , NOTHING. All I knew is that I wanted to be near you every chance I could. HELLO, I even gave up my suite at the metropolis with my friends to go with you to your room at motel 6 with you and your friends. It was so worth it though..

I remember….I remember the first time you entered me. Time stopped. It totally did. I swear. I felt so much electricity in my body. It was so intense. I have had many lovers , you know that…but nothing compared to that moment. The moment you and I were one for the first time. The moment when we first took a shower together, the moment when I washed your hair and body. I felt so connected to you. I wanted to do anything to cater to you. It felt like such an honor to touch your body. Your body is so beautiful. It’s perfect it’s always been perfect to me. Your skin tone reminds me off sweet milk, it’s wonderful. I love the fullness of your breasts, your scars, your moles and birthmarks. I even love your long hair. I never thought I would like that. But to me, there was nothing like having my buxa on top and then reverse positions and have her with her beautiful brown hair sprayed all over the pillow as she closed her eyes in ecstasy the image gives me goose bumps to this day.

Sometimes I miss you, but I know that everything that happened, was meant to be.

I wish you the best. I know that you are doing what you need to do in order to be able to provide for yourself and your family in the future. I also see you as slowly but surely being able to own your sexuality and your female masculinity and being able to allow others to see it and be comfortable in any situation with it (including with your family).

I wish you peace and I wish you love

I want you to know that I pray for you. I light a candle to La Virgen. I meditate and talk to Coyolxauhqui. I pray to God and any other Deity that will listen to me. I pray that you are ok. I pray that cancer never invades your body ever again. I pray that you are happy.
I pray for your soul, when in reality, I should pray for mine….

Namaste

New Masthead

I could go on and on..

but the piece speaks for itself.
