Each week this Pride Month we’ll be highlighting two artists working within one of Nobody Promised You Tomorrow’s four interconnected themes: revolt, commemoration, care, and desire.REVOLT | Hugo Gyrl uses graffiti to celebrate and affirm queer women, femmes, and girls while subverting the male-dominated, often homophobic graffiti community. Their graffiti, illegal in practice, honors the acts of resistance and vandalism that made today’s pride celebrations possible. In “Know Your Power,” Gyrl refers to the bricks used by protestors in the Stonewall Uprising.Posted by Rachel LewisHugo Gyrl (born Brooklyn, New York) Know Your Power, 2019.
