Event Description As part of an ongoing pursuit of social justice and in response to today’s cultural climate, San Diego Art Institute (SDAI) in Balboa Park will debut its newest art exhibit FORGING TERRITORIES: Queer Afro and Latinx Contemporary Art on Saturday, June 29 and continue to share this unprecedented installment through November 3, 2019. 

This thought-provoking exhibit is among the first of its kind to explore and highlight conversations around underrepresented African American and Latinx artists identifying as LGBTQ. Purposefully launching during PRIDE Month and only one day after the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising—considered the seminal event leading to the modern LGBTQ movement—Forging Territories will showcase rarely-told stories of personal and cultural awakening through artists’ responses to sense of identity and place, the influence of the current political moment and the comfort of shared background, language and history.
