Alanis Alvarez – 21 Novembers ago I was born to Cuban parents and with them came a million cousins. After my birth mother’s passing I was adopted by the coolest lesbians alive. My artwork expresses my Latinx culture, the LGBTQ+ activists it’s produced, and the multitude of identities that raised me. If I’m not yelling about the government or creating art, I’m probably living my best Queer, Cuban life binging Netflix and discussing shows with my roommates’ cat.
