Tom of Finland Foundation invites you to experience Queer art in our community with successive visits to DTLA’s Luis de Jesus and Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles on Saturday, July 12, 2025 starting at 11am PDT.

Luis de Jesus is proud to present Strings Attached: Queering Proximities, a group exhibition that “celebrates the diverse perspectives of artists engaging in multidisciplinary queer strategies that expand on themes of relationality, empathy, intimacy, representation, subversion, and the queer sublime.” Artists Ruben Esparza and Zachary Drucker will speak with us about their featured works.

Currently on view at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (ICA LA), [siccer] is an interdisciplinary project and immersive installation by artist and choreographer Will Rawls. Adopting the techniques and technologies associated with the cinema and the stage, Rawls' [siccer] uses dance, stop-motion animation, and sound to investigate the role of media in documenting, exploiting, and erasing the Black body. Senior curator Amanda Sroka will introduce and walk us through the exhibition.
