We are a team of two Latinx high schoolers, building a community in which people who are both queer and Latinx are heard.
People can read or listen to others stories, and submit their own choice of media.
MICHELLE
Hello! My name is Michelle Sifuentes. Make Me Feel Mighty Real: Drag/Tech and the Queer Avatar is an exhibition that took place from March 3rd to May 27th of 2023 at Honor Fraser Gallery, LA. Much like the artists exhibited, I explore self-expression by customizing my avatar’s appearance in video games.
MATEO
Hi! My name is Mateo Rodriguez, and I use he/they pronouns. I took this photo last summer in my local cemetery’s garden. During the pandemic I started taking daily walks in the cemetery to get some exercise, and this was a tradition I continued even after things returned to normal. There’s just something calming about it for me, its a place where I can go and just be without any outside worries or pressure. As someone that is always online and always connected, it’s nice to have a spot to get away from everything and be able to sit with my own thoughts.
