Pájaro/Queer

Armando Lopez-Bircann

Drawing from the artist’s own experience and research, the Pájaro 2000 project questions what is the influence of globalized media on the identities and expression of queer, millennial Dominicans, given their own culture’s rejection. Through the use of original music and visuals, he aims to reframe the word Pájaro, which means bird, but is also used as a derogatory identification for gay men.
