InResidency by The Bureau of Queer Art is a media venture for Contemporary Queer & Allied Creatives to explore representation, identity, and themes of outsiderness in a culture of 'mall-ification'. “Queer' not as being about who you're having sex with (that can be a dimension of it); but 'queer' as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live.” -Bell Hooks Apply to participate at BureauQueerArt.com

In this episode, Jorge Tejeda joins us for a moving conversation about queerness, emotion, and the power of drawing the male body with both strength and softness. We talk about his training in architecture, his influences—from Schiele to contemporary dance—and the deeply personal process behind his series Summer Blues, including the featured work Boy with a Gold Earring.
You can read the full interview now in our digital magazine—links in bio—and see Jorge’s work as part of The Pride Collection: Chosen Family, now on view at Artsy.net through August 31.
