Cindy Aquino: Solo Exhibition (satellite show)

The Paolo Mejia Art Gallery and Design Studio in cooperation with Bindlestiff Studio's "Bakla Show 3" and Dirty Shoes Collective proudly presents:

  

Kadena: Queer as Punk
Cindy Aquino Solo Exhibition
June 3-June 29, 2014

Cindy Aquino’s solo exhibition focuses on the autonomy and determination of the human spirit. She personally takes us within the access of her surrounding environment: deep inside the psyche of the LGBT Manila folk, as well as her surrounding punk family and community. The combination of these two cultures create a surprising harmony, as urbanites in the city find solace in one’s own self-empowerment as brothers and sisters united in a determined and familial setting of solidarity.

The exhibition is a satellite program of Bindlestiff Studio’s Bakla Show 3, in time for San Francisco Pride.
