My partner Liza Quinonez and I are working on a public art initiative designed to rebuild and reimagine communities by enhancing and amplifying opportunities for diverse, culturally inspired and intersectional artwork by Black Artists and Artists of Color who use large-scale public art to express a strong sense of civic and social justice engagement. We would like to exhibit the paintings and create are installations using mix mediums, projections, and film screenings to amplify our support for diverse artists.
We would use the space as a pop up "STREET THEORY" Gallery. We would bring the streets to the walls and hold an art exhibit open to the public. The exhibit would consist of paintings, art installations, projections, photography, and film. We would also donate a portion of the proceeds to social causes that benefit indigenous families separated because of ICE and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Peerspace is on a mission to bring people together. We believe it is impossible to achieve that goal unless we also fight for equality and access to resources in the communities we serve.
Having a space to gather, create, and exchange ideas is an important part of any movement. In order to magnify voices that are often quieted, Peerspace will sponsor venues for people who challenge prejudice and fight for social justice and equality.
Each quarter, we will sponsor space for three projects that are relevant to our community. These projects can range from fundraisers and educational initiatives to art exhibits and photo series.
