jonkung(he/they)(Detroit, MI) - Jonathan Kung teaches people not only how to cook, but also how to express their cultures and personalities in their food. Jon combines their passion for food and authenticity in their videos on TikTok and encourages people to embrace their heritage, passion, and pride.Though the gallery was “above-grade,” cops showed up anyway. Ever the smooth-talker, Leslie greeted them: “Oh hello, officers, are you here to see the show?” The police tried in vain to convince Leslie not to hang the paintings on the walls. “They were so clumsy, they didn’t know what they were doing,” Leslie said. At the end of it, “the police couldn’t do anything. It was painting!” So much representation in media has been so intense,” Jenson said. “Gay films are always very intense, like about AIDS, or there’s Queer Eye. But you don’t get to see this down-to-earth view of gay people poking fun of themselves.” This isn’t a mindset I like to have, but I often think that making self-portraits is my twisted way to claim authorship over my image and not be misattributed. I’ve experienced being mistaken for someone before, and a friend has been mistaken for me, and that happens in different ways. I’ve had parts of my artist statement used to describe another queer Chinese photographer in a magazine. It might sound silly, but given the frequency of these experiences throughout my life, it’s less silly to me. Ultimately, I just want to say, “I was here, this is my work, and it may have done something for you.” thezletnis (she/her)(Toronto, Ontario) - Am and Noey are queer sisters who have captivated diverse audiences through their content focused on self-expression, inclusive fashion, and LGBTQ+ advocacy on TikTok. Their mission is to foster a community where everyone is encouraged to embrace their true selves and celebrate the beauty and power of authenticity. Frida Kahlo (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈfɾiða ˈkalo]; born Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón; 6 July 1907 – 13 July 1954) was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. Inspired by the country's popular culture, she employed a naïve folk art style to explore questions of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society. Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. In addition to belonging to the post-revolutionary Mexicayotl movement, which sought to define a Mexican identity, Kahlo has been described as a surrealist or magical realist.Born to a German father and a mestiza mother, Kahlo spent most of her childhood and adult life at La Casa Azul, her family home in Coyoacán, now publicly accessible as the Frida Kahlo Museum. Although she was disabled by polio as a child, Kahlo had been a promising student headed for medical school until a traffic accident at age eighteen, which caused her lifelong pain and medical problems. During her recovery, she returned to her childhood hobby of art with the idea of becoming an artist.

Think of the horrible view we have of sex, even though we’re the most overly sexualized country in the world,” Leslie mused. “Scratch the surface and there is this Puritanism that goes on and on and on.” That “American prudishness,” he said, was absent in European culture. He recalled going to a government-sponsored gay bar in Amsterdam: “The first thing you saw when you walked in was this huge, long bar with a gigantic picture of Queen Juliana smiling out at her gay subjects.” Looking ahead, the duo hopes to continue to make meaningful paint murals that change the way people look at both art and comedy. “ Very Gay Paint gives us a new way to focus on performance art that still feels nostalgic,” Jenson says. “But our first love will always be comedy.”

I use self-portraiture in two ways: I create photographs where I respond subjectively to personal and emotional processes. These images are often made in response to and in conversation with historical artworks and references such as the vanitas motif, religious paintings, and iconic gay artists who shaped my understanding of queer self-representation, like Pedro Lemebel, David Wojnarowicz, and Robert Mapplethorpe. I also use my body in endurance performances that have a broader social and political meaning. That is the case of Inverted World (2016) and Legacy (2019), where I perform difficult actions for a live audience and/or for the camera that speak to the weight of historical mythology and historiography on queer subjectivities, identities, and bodies. In Inverted World, I perform a physical reenactment of Caravaggio’s 1601 painting Crucifixion of Saint Peter, an upside-down crucifixion, assisted by two bondage artists to discuss the ways in which narratives of martyrdom have been historically assimilated and foundational to normative social behaviors. And in Legacy, while wearing a dental gag, I try to speak a historical timeline of HIV/AIDS from 1908 until the present. These works are not about me per se, but I use my body and my experience as stand-ins for larger issues that affect my communities.
