Jun 29 - Jun 29, 2022
Date: June 29
Time: 6:30 - 8:30
Location: Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art at 26 Wooster, New York, NY
Join author’s Raquel Gutiérrez and Rigoberto Gonzáles as they read and discuss Gutiérrez’s new series of essays Brown Neon, published by Coffee House Press. Listed as one of the most anticipated books of 2022 by Latinx Publishing and Electric Literature, among others, Brown Neon is “a meditation on southwestern terrains, intergenerational queer dynamics, and surveilled brown artists that crosses physical and conceptual borders.” The evening will include readings from the artist’s work, discussion with the audience, and a book signing in partnership with local bookseller P&T Knitwear.
Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event.

Gutiérrez is a 2021 recipient of the Rabkin Prize in Arts Journalism and a 2017 recipient of the Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant. They are faculty for Oregon State University–Cascades’ Low Residency MFA in Creative Writing. Gutiérrez calls Tucson, Arizona, home.
