Through a series of naturally lit medium format portraits, Las Otras
is a collaboration meant to show the diversity and solidarity of Queer
Latin@s. Casual one-on-one portrait sessions in a neutral unadorned
environment (the photographer's living room) creates a visual thread and equal platform,
eliminating the distraction of the private sphere, so what remains is
the unique self. Each Latin@ provides personal thoughts and anecdotes
about their experiences and struggles that in both the Latino/a culture
and the LGBTQ community. By (re)imaging an often disregarded group
through collaborative image and text, Las Otras offer insight to (re)think and (re)visualize the Queer Latin@ identity.View the exhibition from November 30, 2012 – January 17, 2013 between 10:00 am and 7:00 pm weekdays, and 12:00 noon to 5:00 pm Saturdays at the Tisch School of the Arts's Gulf + Western Gallery, in the rear lobby of 721 Broadway.
