A collection of 6 pieces that I made for an event for the pride month, called CUIR which is how you would write the pronunciation of the word queer in spanish.
Wanted to create these pieces that work individually but are also connected all together. You can see it more clearly on the one making the progressive pride flag.
Meditating about what it means to be a queer person in todays society, about what it took for the people that came before us to achieve what we have today, all the sacrifices, struggles, conflicts, the courage to speak their minds, the constant fight just to be themselves without fear. Its inspiring and I am so thankful they fought for these colors to have a meaning, they went out to the streets against a conservative society and government to let them know that we are here to stay and it's okay, we are not against anybody but for everybody.
So reading about the history of the pride flag, how it started, how it evolved, how it's important to have a flag for each orientation, how there are more than one pride flag, how they're still so recent, what each color represent, why they added more colors; I wanted to remind you of the importance of our history and representation.
I painted the flag and at the bottom each color comes out of the shape of the flag to move freely on its own.
After the progressive pride flag, this one opens up and show us these shaped like red ribbons, representing the people that fought and it's living with HIV that sadly hits the queer community the most.
Do not forget how much we had moved forward, the people that came before you that fought for these colors, what we're still missing and the power you have to remind them how important our movement is.
