A word from the Curator, Jennifer "YaYa" Porres,
"I trust you are beautifully, and I am sending deep appreciation for you, from my heart to yours!

This is a reminder that we are activating the exhibition we have woven together at Medicine for Nightmares next Sunday, September 10th, from 5:30 to 9 PM.

Please let me know if you would like me to hold space between performers for you to offer Palabra/ Poetry/Song; otherwise, I will introduce you to the crowd when and if you can join us in person.

This event is part of our current exhibit in the Galeria, “Onward in Gratitude & Joy” a group show curated by yAyA(j. Andrea Amezcua Porras)

Calling in appreciation and nurturing of our collective relationship with earth, air, water, fire, guardians, ancestors, y tierras we acknowledge as an Indigenous sacred space.

Walking in this world as an Indigequeer creative and collaborator, it is imperative that I tend to and grow spaces that see & support 2Spirit & QTPOC familia and accomplices alike. Our collective healing makes for mas support, bridging resources, familia bonds and joy !
