Why is there an AI-generated image in a queer photography exhibit? | Xtra Magazine The β€œQueer Lens” exhibition features β€œChristian en el β€˜Amor de Calle,’” the Getty Museum’s first AI-generated image

Sad to hear that Eva, one half of the incredible duo Eva and Adele, has passed. Their life as art practice was a beautiful radical gesture that reimagined what gender, love, and presence could look like. A true original.

Art installation on National Mall shares trans voices of hope, defiance The 9,000-square foot β€œquilt” comes at a time when the Trump administration has sought to roll back transgender rights.

Trans people staying visible is an important act. They’re stitching their stories into history with care and joy and defiance. At a time when the US government is trying to erase queer lives, this feels like something worth celebrating. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202... #translivesmatter

That’s awesome. Good on you. My husband has her cook books and I thought I’d try her croissant recipe once and then realized it takes something like 16 hours to make them.

Cover of Technocreep and the Politics of Things Not Seen edited by Neda Atanasoski and Nassim Parvin. The cover has a contemporary art installation with black-and-white images projected onto cylindrical surfaces. The title is in bold pink letters and the subtitle is in white. The background has a modern aesthetic, with shadows and light adding depth to the image.

The contributors to "Technocreep and the Politics of Things Not Seen," edited by Neda Atanasoski & @nassimparvin.bsky.social , capture the ambivalence of new and emerging technologies that provoke a sense of creep. #CulturalStudies #CriticalEthnicStudies

Whimsy wins the day at Desert X's 2025 edition Two hours east of Los Angeles, a road trip worth the journey to outdoor projects by Alison Saar, Agnes Denes, Jose DΓ‘vila and others

Whimsy’s never been my go-toβ€”unless it’s wielded as a tool for subversion. With these artists involved, I have no doubt it’s doing exactly that.

Sadly, the reality is we have a choice between the centre-right and the far right. Voting for the left in this time, is a shoe-in for the far right. I’m not willing to risk this. I’ll hold my nose. The far right are fascists.
