Leah Cupino (Erratic Grace) — IMMORTAL
Leah Cupino makes work that refuses to sit still. In this episode, we talk about the ofrenda she built for IMMORTAL—how it traveled from the street to the top floor like a Queer procession, like a public prayer that kept climbing.

We get into impermanence, devotion, survival-with-style, and the kind of beauty that doesn’t pretend it will last forever… but still hits you like it might.

Listen now. Share it with the people who understand that Queer memory is an engine, not a scrapbook.

Baltimore showed up in Mexico City.

At IMMORTAL Queer Art Fair, I sat down with Nancy K. Blackwell, owner + director of Quid Nunc Art Gallery (Baltimore), and we talked about the question every artist is already living inside: What now?

Quid Nunc is a gallery built as a bridge—between emerging artists and collectors, between community and visibility, between “safe space” and real-world action. Nancy’s building something rare: a room where queer artists don’t have to translate themselves to be understood.

This one is about Baltimore’s creative pulse, the politics of safety, and why the future of galleries might look less like gatekeeping and more like gathering.

Paradiso’s work is slow on purpose. Quilts built from construction-site materials. Embroidered bodies that make looking feel different. Pansies stitched on leather—soft, tough, tender, defiant. It’s queer history told with thread, and it doesn’t ask for permission.

Read + listen—then send it to the friend who needs a reminder that endurance is also an aesthetic.
