Queerteñx: Trans Fronterizes / Cuir Transnationalism
Bilingual Exhibition Catalog • English/Spanish
Queerteñx is intimately tied to the México/United States border aesthetically, historically, geographically, symbolically, visually, and conceptually. In this exhibition, the aesthetic achievements of José Villalobos and Salvador de la Torre converge to theoretically queer citizenship and problematize machismo from a queer/trans axis —nepantleando in diaspora— where queer is a site of infinite possibility. Visually articulated throughout this exhibition is an aesthetic provocation upon machismo, heteropatriarchy, and cis-supremacy that challenges inherent social value through Queerteñx culture.
