SUMMARY:WEHO PRIDE Arts Festival
DESCRIPTION:TODAY- West Hollywood\nWEHO PRIDE Arts Festival and the City of West Hollywood presents \nMy Own Private Rodeo\, by Coyote Park\n \nJune 1 – June 30\, Hours: Fri – Sun\, Noon-5pm \nONE Gallery\, 626 N Robertson Blvd\, West Hollywood\, CA 90069  \nFree\, Open to the Public\, No RSVP required.  \nIn collaboration with ONE Archives Foundation\, the City of West Hollywood and HIT presents My Own Private Rodeo — an exhibition of new works by Coyote Park.  Navigating the world in a body that has been desecrated\, reclaimed\, brutalized\, and empowered\, Coyote Park asks\, “What does it mean for myself to exist in a way that my elders weren’t allowed to?” These works move through feelings of grief\, mourning\, loss\, pride\, redemption\, and play. It is in the deepest place of isolation\, where Park finds a site where they are their personal spectator of their own pain – their own transformation. A rodeo of aching glory: where they are the hunter\, the hunted\, the bull\, and the rider. \n  \n\nWEHO PRIDE ARTS FESTIVAL\n40 DAYS OF LGBTQ+ PROGRAMMING FROM MAY 22 THROUGH JUNE 30\, 2023 \nThe City of West Hollywood celebrates pride with its WeHo Pride Arts Festival\, which runs from Harvey Milk Day (May 22) through the end of June Pride month (June 30).

A panel discussion will be followed by Q&A and book signing. \nRick Castro is a photographer\, filmmaker\, and writer who has lived and worked in Los Angeles for his entire life. He made his first image in 1986 and from then on immersed himself in homoerotic fetish photography. In 1996\, he directed Hustler White\, starring Bruce LaBruce. From 2005 to 2017\, he owned and operated Antebellum Gallery\, the only fetish art gallery in America. Over the course of his career\, he has created portraits of Gore Vidal\, Kenneth Anger\, Ron Athey\, Alice Bag\, Peter Berlin\, Michele Lamy\, and the 14th Dalai Lama. He has collaborated on fashion editorial for Christian Dior Homme\, Cartier\, and Rick Owens. His publications include Castro (DPR Press\, 1990) and 13 Years of Bondage: The Photography of Rick Castro (Fluxion Editions\, 2004). He regularly posts new imagery at instagram.com/castrrick. \nSam Sweet is a writer\, publisher\, and archivist specializing in lost heroes and miniatures histories of Los Angeles. He is best known as the author of ALL NIGHT MENU\, a collection of L.A. microhistories spread across five booklets. Each volume contains eight addresses and each address connects to a different time period\, subculture\, and section of the city. ALL NIGHT MENU has since grown to encompass visual publications\, a photographic archive\, and an oral history series. His work can be found at samsweet.info and allnight-menu.com. \n  \n \nGirl Internet Show: A Kati Kelli Mixtape\nTuesday\, June 27\, 2023\, 8pm \nBrain Dead Studios\, 611 N Fairfax Ave\, Los Angeles\, CA 90036 \nFree\, Reservations Required (Reservation link available soon) \n  \nThis brand-new feature-length “mixtape” unearths and reintroduces a stunning\, singular body of work by the enigmatic Kati Kelli\, an outsider video artist and digital native whose subversive online uploads push at the seams of the digital form. For nearly a decade before her passing in 2019\, Kati ran “Girl Internet Show\,” a YouTube channel\, parasocial experiment\, and epically deranged one-woman universe built from scratch in her bedroom. This hand-made mixtape by Jane Schoenbrun and Jordan Wippell features a lovingly curated selection of Kati’s online work\, unreleased videos\, and her first (and final) short film opus “Total Body Removal Surgery.” A discussion with filmmaker Jordan Wippell will follow the screening. \n  \n \nCAN YOU FEEL IT? Dance performances\nSunday\, June 25\, 2023\, 2pm \nWest Hollywood Park at the base of the Aquatic and Recreation Center grand staircase\, 8750 El Tovar Pl\, West Hollywood\, CA 90069 \nFree\, Open to the Public\, No RSVP Needed. \nCAN YOU FEEL IT? is a curated selection of live performances and original dance works by local dance companies\, independent choreographers\, and performances artists in West Hollywood Park. This is an outdoor event that is free and open to the public. Unreserved seating will be available on the steps of the West Hollywood Aquatics and Recreation Center. Please bring sun-protection — umbrellas and hats are recommended. \n  \n \nDouble Screening—Showgirls (1995) + Showgirls 2: The Cut (2013)\, \nhosted by John Early and Rena Riffel \nWednesday\, June 28\, 2023\, 7pm \nBrain Dead Studios\, 611 N Fairfax Ave\, Los Angeles\, CA 90036 \nFree\, Donations Accepted\, Reservation Required (Reservation link available soon) \nJoin John Early (Search Party\, 30 Rock) and Rena Riffel (Showgirls and director of Showgirls 2: The Cut) for an iconic evening of live performance and film. In Showgirls\, a carefree erotic dancer in Las Vegas named Penny witnesses the rise and fall of one of her co-workers. In Showgirls 2: The Cut\, Penny follows her dream to become the star dancer on a television show — a satirical parody and cautionary tale of traveling down the path toward a self-fulfilling prophecy. \n  \n\n  \nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nhttps://www.wehopride.com/artsfestival\n \n  \nFind more \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  \n		\n\n							\n					Share via:\n				 \n			\n			\n\n								\n		\n\n							\n\n					\n						\n						 \n					\n						\n							\n\n							\n																Facebook\n									\n						\n\n											\n					\n									\n							\n\n					\n						\n						 \n					\n						\n							\n\n							\n																Twitter\n									\n						\n\n											\n					\n									\n							\n\n					\n						\n						 \n					\n						\n							\n\n							\n																LinkedIn\n									\n						\n\n											\n					\n									\n			\n			\n				\n					\n						\n							\n\n														\n																			More
