Queer and Trans Artists of Color by Nia King

goodreads

A collection of sixteen unique and honest conversations you won't read anywhere else... Mixed-race queer art activist Nia King left a full-time job in an effort to center her life around making art. Grappling with questions of purpose, survival, and compromise, she started a podcast called We Want the Airwaves in order to pick the brains of fellow queer and trans artists of color about their work, their lives, and "making it" - both in terms of success and in terms of survival. In this collection of interviews, Nia discusses fat burlesque with Magnoliah Black, queer fashion with Kiam Marcelo Junio, interning at Playboy with Janet Mock, dating gay Latino Republicans with Julio Salgado, intellectual hazing with Kortney Ryan Ziegler, gay gentrification with Van Binfa, getting a book deal with Virgie Tovar, the politics of black drag with Micia Mosely, evading deportation with Yosimar Reyes, weird science with Ryka Aoki, gay public sex in Africa with Nick Mwaluko, thin privilege with Fabian Romero, the tyranny of "self-care" with Lovemme Corazon, "selling out" with Miss Persia and Daddie$ Pla$tik, the self-employed art activist hustle with Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarsinha, and much, much more. Welcome to the future of QPOC art activism.

Mod opinion: I haven't heard of this book before, but I know some of the artists in here whose work I enjoyed, so I'm excited to check it out sometime.

“In compliance with community guidelines” 2022, acrylic painting with screen printed quilt and embroidery, 50x80”

Click for full image!!

My thesis-painting this semester! I worked with two subjects of this pieces; 1) the censorship of queer and trans identities in our age of social media in part due to the anti-lgbt hate and laws passed this year and 2) the value of traditional art and artisanal mediums such as textiles ,in an increasingly digital art market, by appropriating digital iconography using entirely traditional mediums and techniques.

cramped space

(gouache, watercolor, ink, colored pencil on paper, 22 x 30. close ups under the cut!)

[ID: A traditional painting. In bright warm light, two people talk. One is reclined on a matress lying on the floor of the basement laundry room they live in. the other has their foot up on the sink, pulling on their clothes and combing their hair while making a shocked expression. The peice is drawn from a high angle, looking down on the laundry room. End ID.]
