ROCKING THE MARKET

An Exhibition of Performance Art by Three Queer Latina/x Artists from New York and California

May 6 - June 11, 2022

Opening Reception, May 12th 6:30 - 9:00 PM.

Nao Bustamante Performing Live at 7:30

In ROCKING THE MARKET three queer Latina/x performance artists experiment with food through performance, video, audio and written art forms.

Food represents and embodies life in all of its manifestations and nuances. Taste is the idiom the tongue usually remembers even when native languages have been suppressed, surrendered, hybridized, slowly forgotten or eradicated. Food is political; encompassing non-human animal rights, eco-activism, veganism, vegetarianism, food justice, and hunger. These food ‘conversations’ include, what is eaten and who gets to eat on our generous, but exploited planet. Forget sexuality, politics and religion; they are all contained in any given dish. Buen provecho.
