Alma Lopez is an artist, activist, and visual storyteller working in painting, photo-based digital prints, and video. She is known for her innovative digital images, which recontextualize cultural icons, bringing issues of race, gender, and sexuality into relationship with transnational myths. She exhibits her work extensively and has received awards for her work such as the California Community Foundation Arts Funding Initiative's Individual Artist Grant and most recently, the Astraea Visual Artist Award. In 2005, she produced her first digital video documentary, titled Boi Hair , and is currently working on a documentary about queer femmes.
This is the poster that Lopez created for the LA Queer Studies Conference in 2005.
