A Milestone Achievement: My Art Takes the Spotlight on Bay Area News! / by Edgar Fabián Frías

I am thrilled to share a momentous milestone in my artistic journey: my art has been featured on the renowned Bay Area news channel, KRON4 TV! It was an honor to be interviewed by the amazing Dan Thorn, and I am grateful to the talented news producer and documentarian Duncan Sinfield for inviting me to showcase my work. The news segment included breathtaking drone aerial footage filmed by Duncan Sinfield himself. In addition, I have uploaded a captivating 14-minute video of my artwork 'Hechizo Tuutú' (meaning Flower Spell) on my YouTube Channel (see below).

The Iconic Salesforce Tower Display:

For the entire month of Pride 2023, my art will be on display atop one of the West Coast's largest buildings, the iconic Salesforce Tower in San Francisco. This spectacular opportunity is a testament to the power of art to inspire and bring communities together. The video showcasing my artwork will be played all night during the Pride weekend, from June 23-25, and subsequently every other night between midnight and 1 am. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Jim Campbell Studio and Emma Strebel for making this incredible display possible. I would also like to thank Femmasculine for recommending me for this extraordinary opportunity.

The Creation of 'Hechizo Tuutú':

'Hechizo Tuutú' features footage from my artist residency at Coaxial Arts last year. Collaborating with the talented Gaby Herstik, we created a divine performance ritual that took the form of this enchanting artwork. Prepare to be transported by a mix of special psychedelic, queer, nonbinary, trans, and indigiqueer animations and visions. This art spell incorporates sacred elements such as ojo de dios, Kauyumari, quartz crystal, rose magic, generative art, and much more. It is a mesmerizing journey into the realms of imagination and expression.

A Celebration of Diversity and Identity:

Join me in celebrating the wixárika art, indigenous futurism, generative art, Latinx art, queer art, and nonbinary art. This moment represents a significant milestone in my artistic journey, and I am deeply humbled to see it highlighted. Through my art, I strive to promote inclusivity, acceptance, and the celebration of diverse identities. This recognition is a testament to the power of art to transcend boundaries and foster connection.

Spotlight on BAAITS SF:

In addition to featuring my art, KRON4 TV also highlighted BAAITS SF on the same day. Baaits_SF deserves recognition for their incredible work, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to amplify their message through my platform.

Conclusion:

The inclusion of my art on the Bay Area news, the remarkable display atop the Salesforce Tower, and the release of the captivating 'Hechizo Tuutú' video represent a significant milestone in my artistic career. I am grateful for the support and opportunities that have brought me to this point. As we celebrate Pride Month, let us embrace the power of art to ignite conversations, challenge norms, and create a more inclusive world. Thank you for joining me on this extraordinary journey. Together, let us continue to push boundaries and inspire through the universal language of art.
