Join Lanesboro Arts for an artist talk featuring Candida Gonzalez! The event will take place at the Lanesboro Arts Gallery on Saturday, July 26th, from 12 – 4 pm with the artist sharing about their Seen Tarot installation that is currently up in the Gallery. During the talk, Candida will focus on the techniques they use in their collages and will have a visual representation to go along with it.
Candida is a queer, trans, non-binary mixed Puerto Rican, multimedia artist from South Minneapolis, who manipulates basic elements into different configurations to produce distinct energies and spells. Using a variety of media including traditional collage, photography, found objects, text, video, and sound, they create interactive installations and images that hold space for complex emotions. Their digital collage work often reimagines the traditional archetypes of the major arcana in tarot, creating space to celebrate the regal sacredness of the QTBIPOC (Queer Trans Black Indigenous People of Color) community. All of their work is centered at the intersection of love and healing.
Candida is featured in “Our Bright Unfolding” exhibition – a group exhibition embodying interconnected in motion, a much needed light uplifting the power of artistic expression as a tool for societal transformation. The artwork in ‘Our Bright Unfolding’ reflects personal and collective growth, resilience, radical acts of joy, and the power of unapologetic existence. In a time of profound upheaval when marginalized communities are increasingly under threat, this exhibition serves as a necessary reminder to lean on community, roots of resistance, and visions for change.
