Artist Edie Fake will explore the visual “codes” that exist within queer and trans life and art, examining how these function as tools of visibility and resistance. Drawing from his own artistic practice, Fake will discuss the way in which queer communities have historically created and maintained cultural continuity through visual language—particularly as a means of space-making and survival during periods of political oppression. Fake’s artwork is currently on view in the exhibition Kitsch, Craft, Critique.
