SUMMARY:Flux Factory Major Exhibition: where will I be buried*?
DESCRIPTION:where will I be buried*?\nJuly 17 – August 22\nView full exhibition at wherewillibeburied.com\n\nCurated by Muse Dodd and Catherine Feliz\nConcept created in collaboration with Muse Dodd and Jasdeep Kang\n\nFriday July 17\, noon: Exhibition Tour on the Flux Factory Instagram\nFriday July 17: Exhibition launch at wherewillibeburied.com \nAugust 8\, 3pm EST: Artist Talk \nFULL PROGRAM BELOW \nwhere will I be buried? is a whisper\, a vigil\, a torn photograph in a lovers wallet\, a plea. The need to be remembered and honored in our lives and death(s). \nFeaturing work from over 12 Queer and/or Trans\, Black and Indigenous\, People of Color (QTBIPOC)\, where will I be buried*? holds space for artists and audiences from marginalized communities to center ourselves in our mourning\, healing and transformations. For QTBIPOC communities the question of where “will I be buried” is not easily answered. How we approach ritual\, ceremony and death varies culture to culture\, religion to religion and even more so depending on your gender or sexual identity. Too often Black Trans* people are misgendered in their death\, a continued violence that started long before the moment of their death. Using death as an entry point the included artists bring dynamic responses to the titular question exploring pleasure\, pain\, longing and transcendence.  \n\nThe work shapes the exhibit into a transformative space that holds conflicting truths at once\, understanding that our experiences are uniquely our own. Some artists offer comforting prayers\, altars\, and song; others document our imagined and contested past and possible futures. This online exhibition features the incredible multimedia work of artists Felicita Felli Maynard\, Jessica Lauren Elizabeth Taylor\, Nine Yamamoto-Masson\, Smita Sen\, Brittany J. Camacho\, Rox Campbell\, Catalina Xavlena\, Dillon God Gardner\, Monilola Olayemi Ilupeju\, Wazina Zondon and Linda Labeija. With workshops and performances led by Vee\, Electropapi\, olivia ahn\, and Karolina Castro. \nCurating during COVID and a social uprising has been a challenge. As curators from the communities most impacted by these events we have had to be flexible\, creative and patient. What the quarantine has revealed is that not everything translates online but it is our job to make our work more accessible for more people. \nPress contact: buried@fluxfactory.org \n\nFULL PROGRAM \nTo View the Exhibition visit wherewillibeburied.com \nJULY 17\, noon\nTour of the online exhibition and website on Flux Factory Instagram Live \n\nWORKSHOP – this event has reached capacity\nJULY 18\, 1pm \nSet the altar: queer interfaith life\, spirituality + identity\, presented by olivia ahn\nClick here for full details and Registration Link – Zoom link sent upon registration \nThis is a QTBIPOC (Queer/Trans Black\, Indigenous\, and/or People of Color) centered space and is intended as an offering specifically for QTBIPOC people.⁣⁣ \nSet The Altar is a collective tending space where participants are encouraged to honor a god/godess/gxdxx\, diety\, divinity\, saint and/or ancestor that they currently work with in their spiritual and/or religious practice that supports and protects them either in their queer identity or cultural lineage. \n\nFILM SCREENING \nJULY 18\, 3:15\nMuttererde by Jessica Lauren Elizabeth Taylor\nThere’s Just Something About Death That Makes Us Dance: The Revival by Rox Campbell \nFollowed by conversation with filmmaker Rox Campbell and curator Muse Dodd \nClick here for full details and Registration link – Zoom link will be sent upon registration\nTwitch link: www.twitch.tv/wherewillibeburied \n\nWORKSHOP\nJULY 25\, 3pm\ndeath becomes us  facilitated by Karolina Castro \nRegister here – Zoom link upon registration \nThis is a QTBIPOC (Queer/Trans Black\, Indigenous\, and/or People of Color) centered space and is intended as an offering specifically for QTBIPOC people.⁣⁣ \nIt’s never too early to plan for your death.

If you are a white participant\, please be conscientious of your participation as QTBIPOC centering will be prioritized. \nRegister here – Zoom link upon registration \nVee AKA\, Electropapi (They/She Pronouns) was taught from a young age that desire can lead to death. Parental figures always taught them that sexual desire in the Christian perspective could be a path to the underworld in the after life\, and the only salvation is in Jesus Christ. Vee always thought growing up- “hm.. if Jesus loves everyone\, isn’t he kinda gay?” and “Isn’t God\, with all these rules and sins\, and the punishment there after\, a dom daddy?” These questions guided Vee to a different path. In Vee’s Caribbean-based ancestral healing practices\, they realized that salvation can only happen when desire is liberated.  Holiness is liberated queerness. Once one embraces the fear of death and pain\, desire through the exploration of kink can be a path to salvation from the white supremacist\, cisheteropatriachry\, colonial landscape.  In this film\, Vee explores the crucifixion\, ascension\, and sainthood of the Black and Indigenous queer trans two spirit body as a sanctuary of desire in kink and bdsm.  \n\nAUGUST 1\, 3pm\nPERFORMANCE\nPerformance by Wazina Zondon feat Terna Tilley-Gyado\n \nRegister Here – Zoom link upon registration \n إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ‎ + inna lillahi/indeed we belong to Allah wa inna ilayhi raji-un/and to Allah we return \nإِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ‎/ Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji-un/Indeed we belong to Allah and to Allah we return (re)creates and preempts the burial rites queer and trans Muslims are not guaranteed but ought to be. The performance explores the in-between spaces of living within the third culture realm\, recreating coveted traditions\, hidden truths and reconciling death. \nIndeed we belong to Allah and to Allah we return… as you intended us to be. \n\nAUGUST 8\, 3pm\nARTIST TALK\n\nStreamed via twitch.tv/wherewillibeburied \nCurator Muse Dodd will facilitate a conversation with participating artists Linda LaBeija\, Dillon God Gardener\, Smita Sen and community based healing practitioner Olivia ahn \n\nAUGUST 8\, 7pm\nPERFORMANCE\nThe end is just the beginning\nPerformance by Dillon God Gardener \nStreamed via twitch.tv/wherewillibeburied \nBroadcasting live from The Very Dirty Garden\, Dillon God Gardener will perform “The end is just the beginning “ a ritual performance  with live musical accompaniment by Fieraferrari.

SUMMARY:#indigenizemememoji.2020 - New Works by Jevijoe Vitug
DESCRIPTION:#indigenizemememoji.2020\nNew Works by Jevijoe Vitug \nLaunching August 9\, 2020 \nOn the event of the International Day of World’s Indigenous Peoples\, Flux Factory is pleased to present #indigenizemememoji.2020\, a solo exhibition of paintings by Philippine-born artist Jevijoe Vitug.

Layering graphics referencing the COVID-19 pandemic and statewide protests against systemic racism\, each painting amplifies this historic moment as translated through digital culture. \nThis new body of work is composed of 13 paintings\, in which Vitug continues his painting technique titled “pintados\,” painterly brushstrokes that have nuances of indigenous mark making. Similar to digital pixel units\, these marks become codes to forming imagery invisible at a first glance. Working in oil paint\, acrylic\, airbrush and water based UV-fluorescent paint overlapping one another\, the artist uses a diversity of painting media. \nA repeated motif in the works are brands around which viral memes were made during the pandemic\, such as Corona beer\, Purell hand sanitizer and Clorox bleach. The painting Queen Bey’s Purell Meme (2020) is based on a meme by Saint Hoax in which Beyonce holds Purell bottles\, while emoji hands reach out for the sanitizers. This work\, part of a diptych\, sits next to This is……Why (2020) which appropriates a meme posted by NBA star LeBron James showing a police officer’s knee on George Floyd’s neck\, next to a former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeling in protest of police brutality. Both rendered using marking details similar to the tattoos of indigenous warriors in the Philippines\, depicted in the Boxer Codex manuscript (1590). Vitug combines a diversity of technique and reference to draw attention to the complex and interdependent forces impacting this social moment. \nOver the prolonged period of lockdown\, Vitug has continued painting in his studio as a coping strategy and to reflect on his experience living in Queens\, NY\, the epicenter of coronavirus outbreak that has disproportionately impacted immigrants of color. He uses coded humor\, layered with straightforward messages and hidden meanings to make visible his pre-colonial/ indigenous heritage\, and his continuing quest for decolonization. \n\nArtist Bios \nJevijoe Vitug \nQueens-based artist Jevijoe Vitug creates paintings\, performance and community projects as avant-garde strategy to visibilize labor\, indigenous legacy and the forgotten history of people of color. \nJevijoe earned his MFA dual degree in Studio Arts and Design and Technology from San Francisco Art Institute in 2015 and his work has been included in exhibitions at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (2005\, 2006)\, Singapore Art Museum (2006)\,\nDiego Rivera Gallery\, San Francisco\, CA (2009)\, Contemporary Arts Center\, Las Vegas (2012)\, Staff show at The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, NY (2017\, 2019)\, Queens Museum\, NY (2018)\, San Diego Art Institute\, San Diego CA (2019).
