¡Bienvenides a un episodio especial de The Bureau of Queer Art! Tenemos anuncios emocionantes para artistas que buscan expandir su práctica, conectar con una comunidad creativa vibrante y ser parte de nuestra creciente red internacional.

Primero, estamos lanzando un nuevo grupo de residencia INCUBATOR en español, que comenzará en abril de 2025. Esta es una oportunidad única para artistas de diversas disciplinas que quieran participar en un espacio dinámico y bilingüe de desarrollo artístico, crítica y oportunidades de exhibición. Los cupos son limitados, así que postula ahora para asegurar tu lugar.

Además, estamos abriendo la convocatoria para INMORTAL—nuestra feria de arte del Día de los Muertos que tendrá lugar del 31 de octubre al 2 de noviembre de 2025, en la Colonia Juárez, Ciudad de México. Justo a unos pasos del festival, esta feria reunirá a artistas contemporáneos cuyas obras exploran la impermanencia de la vida, la persistencia de la memoria y la evolución de las narrativas queer y aliadas.

Un artista que encarna profundamente estos temas es Cabrera, cuya práctica fotográfica está arraigada en el poder de la autoexploración. A través de su cuerpo, su mirada y su lente, construye narrativas profundamente personales, desentrañando deseos ocultos, incomodidades latentes y las complejas relaciones que moldean la identidad. Cabrera no solo documenta momentos—los habita, revelando una exploración de género, memoria y transformación. Su más reciente serie, MAITA, es un reflejo poderoso de este viaje.

En The Bureau of Queer Art, estamos comprometides a crear espacios donde les artistas puedan arriesgarse, desafiar normas y encontrar comunidad. Ya sea a través de nuestras exposiciones, residencias artísticas o proyectos especiales como INMORTAL, te invitamos a ser parte de algo transformador.

Las aplicaciones ya están abiertas para nuestras próximas exhibiciones, residencias y programas especiales. Visita bureauqueerart.com para obtener más información y postularte. Hagamos arte que nos trascienda en el tiempo.

Welcome to a special bonus episode of The Bureau of Queer Art podcast! We have some exciting announcements for artists looking to expand their practice, connect with a thriving creative community, and be part of our growing international network.

English

First, we’re launching a new Spanish-speaking INCUBATOR residency group starting in April 2025! This is an opportunity for artists working across disciplines to engage in a dynamic, bilingual space for artistic development, critique, and exhibition opportunities. Seats are limited, so apply now to secure your spot.

And speaking of incredible opportunities, we’re also inviting artists to join us for INMORTAL—our upcoming Día de los Muertos art fair happening October 31st to November 2nd, 2025, in Colonia Juarez, Mexico City. Just steps from the festival, this fair will bring together contemporary artists whose work explores the impermanence of life, the persistence of memory, and the evolution of queer and allied narratives.

One artist who deeply embodies these themes is Cabrera, whose photographic practice is rooted in the power of self-exploration. Through his body, his gaze, and his lens, he constructs deeply personal narratives, unraveling hidden desires, unsettling discomforts, and the complex relationships that shape identity. Cabrera doesn’t just document moments—he inhabits them, revealing a layered exploration of gender, memory, and transformation. His latest series, MAITA, is a powerful reflection of this journey.

At The Bureau of Queer Art, we are committed to creating spaces where artists can take risks, challenge norms, and find community. Whether through our exhibitions, artist residencies, or special projects like INMORTAL, we invite you to be part of something transformative.

Applications are now open for our upcoming exhibitions, residencies, and special programs. Visit us to learn more and apply.
