gm,
three years ago today i was in Milan at the opening of Love is Louder, an exhibition i curated at Ninfa Labs.
twelve LGBTQIA+ artists from around the world, one of the most special nights of my life. not so much an achievement in my career, more the possibility of that shared space: seeing the stories of some of us on the walls, loud and unafraid.
i made rising of my heart especially for this exhibition. since i had lived in Milan before, it was truly a site-specific work, a final love letter to that city, to my queerness, and to how entangled they both have always been.
three years on, i feel i have risen. but part of that shipwreck will always stay with me, and the flotsam is still adrift in the seas of my heart. and that's okay. it's an eternal cycle, and the rise comes over and over again.
