    *Sistah Sinema was created to showcase the nuances of Queer Women of Color culture. It is hoped that the movies will serve as a vehicle to foster honest dialogue on struggles and opportunities unique to Queer Women of Color. While discussion will focus on Queer Women of Color, all members of the Queer community are invited to attend.

    Sistah Sinema started in Seattle, WA in early 2011 and expanded to Cleveland in 2012, and currently in over 10 cities across the country and Kingston, JA.

  • Wednesday August 6/6pm: “POOP IS ART AND VICE VERSA”

    I POO YOU PRESENT:

    “POOP IS ART AND VICE VERSA”

    OPENING:

    WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6TH 2014
    6 – 10PM

    ATA GALLERY (Artists Television Access)
    992 Valencia St,
    San Francisco, CA 94110
    “POOP IS ART AND VICE VERSA” is an exhibition featuring the latest works by internationally uncelebrated artists, Guillermo Sanchez and Rafael Saenz, founders of IPoopYou.com.
    The exhibition will be a prolific assortment of paintings, small photographs, fashion designs, and a site-specific installation. Many parts of the pieces use as a medium real animal POOP that has been carefully hand picked from local farms in the bay area and converted into (f)ART.
    In their cartoonish and satirical artwork, Rafael and Guillermo use mixed media detournement to fearlessly mock icons of the art world, pop culture celebrities, famous contemporary artists, their dealers, and very often, their selves. Their iconoclastic mission is to challenge squeamishness and to advocate the power of poop as a means of expression.
    Original and ingenious, irreverent and humorous, this work reminds us that no matter how exalted we may perceive a person to be, in the end, we are all the same shit.
