Queering Architecture with Lake Verea

EVENT POSTPONED:
A new date will be announced soon.

Join Mexico City–based artists Francisca Rivero-Lake and Carla Verea of Lake Verea for an intimate performance followed by a conversation about photography, queer identity, and architecture with critic and curator Mimi Zeiger.

Lake Verea will discuss how their practice of photographing modern homes by the light of the full moon illuminates unspoken narratives and explores questions of sensuality, abstraction, and temporality.

About Lake Verea

Lake Verea is a queer duo working in conceptual photography, formed in 2005 by Francisca Rivero-Lake and Carla Verea. Their work explores concepts of expanded photography through installation, textile, performance, sculpture, and video. By experimenting with photographic techniques and formats that question authorship, they build narratives that highlight their combined identity to create intimate portraits of architecture, artists’ archives, and people.
