Art exhibition: Kathy Murillo – Queer Figures
Tavistock Centre
“Queer Figures” is an exhibition by Kathy Murillo exploring queerness, something inherent in all of us. The artist tries to build a bridge between the audience and herself, showing how being queer is as natural as not being queer. Our struggles are interconnected, just as the way we connect with a piece of art. This exhibition aims to create awareness of differences, particularly fostering self-awareness of how one interacts with diversity.
