Spring 2019 Series

 

Saturday, June 1 | 7:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. 

We are kicking off Pride Month and our upcoming Tomboys exhibition with an evening of life drawing that explores the nuances of gender, identity, and intersectionality with modeling by Cynthia Gonzalez and Giuliani J. Alvarenga. Cynthia Gonzalez, is a poet, Director for CineArte – a Latinx Queer Film and Art Festival by the LA LGBT Center, and Founder of Salvies Who Lunch. Giuliani J. Alvarenga is a UC Berkeley alumnus and an incoming law student at Loyola University New Orleans College of Law and wants to focus on the criminalization of HIV, as well as immigration work. 

 

SPARC has always recognized art as a form of memory, storytelling, and expression. We are excited to welcome two Los Angeles artists whose creative expression includes poetry, visual art, body art, make-up, and fashion to model for Sip and Sketch on Saturday, June 15th. Cynthia is a Salvadorian-American poet and Professor of English at Fullerton College who debut poetry collection ENDEAVOR was published in 2017. Leslie is a visual artist, educator, founder of Ancestral Healing and intends to pursue a Ph.D. in indigenous healing practices. Both sisters have embraced tattoos and body art as modes of self-expression and honoring their ancestors, their spirituality, and art.
