RIP LA<br />

“Laura’s work a lot of time<br />

represents people that are<br />

marginalized and people that<br />

are oppressed or people that<br />

are invisible. Poor, large women<br />

of color — they tend to be<br />

invisible in society. Nobody<br />

sees them. They’re not represented<br />

in media, they are<br />

discriminated against because<br />

we have issues with color, we<br />

have issues with obesity. And<br />

so for a woman like herself to<br />

put herself front and center in<br />

the conversation, that’s pretty<br />

brave. That’s pretty amazing<br />

because there’s nobody out<br />

there that looks like her that’s<br />

saying anything like that.”<br />

- Sybil Venegas (Curator),<br />

Remembering the<br />

body of work of<br />

Mexican-American<br />

artist Laura Aguilar<br />

(1959-2018)<br />

which redefined<br />

the landscape of<br />

queer aesthetics<br />

RIP LA
