Carlos and Fernando Estrada-Lopez are social workers in Los Angeles, but in Gabriel García Román’s Queer Icons, they are a pair of haloed saints locked in an embrace, surrounded by floating messages in mixed Spanish and English that partially read “Raised on frijoles and family,” “Bicultural,” and “Puro Pinche Queer!” (“Pure Fucking Queer”).
Selections from Roman’s Queer Icons photogravure series will join zines, posters, and art books of over 30 Latinx artists and scholars at the inaugural La Feria print media art fair, organized by The Latinx Project at New York University (NYU) this Saturday, September 21.
