Queer Latinx Artistry and Innovation with Armando Lopez-Bircann
Our first episode features D.C.-based XR (extended reality) artist Armando Lopez-Bircann (they/them), who grew up in the Dominican Republic with limited access to the world of high art. Despite this, Armando's innovative, technologically driven approach to artistic creation challenges the limits of queer Latinx expression. Join us as we explore their creative process and unique perspective on the intersection of queer identity and art.
