The works in this exhibition examine Guatemalan’s historical, social, and political climate, focusing on freedom dreaming for the queer individual at the intersection of brownness and queer utopia. Through using the concept of iconoclasm, the aesthetic of maximalism, and the tools of photography, sculpture, and performance, Martín evaluates the systematic structures such as religion, coloniality, folklore, and white supremacy.
