Once a Day Swallow a Small Sun
Third Space DFW
April 16, 2021 - June 26, 2021
Fort Worth Community Arts Center
Once a Day Swallow a Small Sun focuses on reflections of the queer experience through health and well-being. The definition of what queer health means is broad to include multiple perspectives and allow artists to freely interpret this concept. There needs to be creative attention to this aspect of the queer experience because health is often a taboo topic to discuss both within and outside of the LGBTQIA+ community. The title of this exhibition is taken from a verse in a Sam Sax poem:
On PrEP or on Prayer [“when i say pre-exposure prophylaxis”]
By Sam Sax
when i say oral emtricitabine
you think
once a day swallow a small sun
& all hymn in you comes undone
the way a lit match deads the smell
of a public bathroom
Participating artists: Ram Brisueno, Krista Chalkley, Sergio Cordero, Evin Dubois, Bertie Gardner, Erica Kalish, Sean McGuire, Antonio Mercado, Rick Schenck, Armando Sebastian, Kay Seedig, Narong Tintamusik, and Jose Villalobos
