Creative writing students & beyond! Starting March 13th, beloved faculty Caro De Robertis' exhibit will be on display at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts!
Caro has co-curated 'Conjuring Power: Roots & Futures of Queer & Trans Movements' in collaboration with Tina V. Aguirre.
🌟 Conjuring Power is a multimedia exhibition exploring the resilient beauty, cultural richness, and fierce resistance of Bay Area queer and trans communities.
Broadly organized as a journey through time, this multimedia exhibition explores how queer and trans communities harness creativity to build culture, sustain one another, and strengthen movements across generations. Across epic murals, rarely-seen documentary photography from the 1970s and 80s, and queer-futurist contemporary video work, Conjuring Power is a potent blend of art, archive, and imagination.
The exhibition will include work by Ester Hernández, Serge Gay, Jr., Tanya Wischerath, and Crystal Mason, and emerging artists from the Queer Ancestors Project, as well as archival material from the GLBT Historical Society and audio clips from Caro De Robertis’ oral histories with the groundbreaking Elders Project. Accompanying public programs such as panel discussions, gallery talks, and live performances will be announced in early 2026.
Come celebrate and view this amazing work! We're so excited for March! 🐊🎨
