High school students who participate in the Gay at the Library After

School (GATLAS) program present a student exhibition that illustrates

the importance of accepting individuals for who they are and being

open to understanding diverse identities and perspectives.

Inspired by artist Félix González-Torres’s “Untitled” (L.A.) candy spill

installation and Le Mat (The Fool) by Devan Shimoyama, students

focused on symbolism in art to express their identities through

mixed-media collages. The idea of love and acceptance connects to

important and relevant issues around self-determination and bodily

autonomy, revealed through the lens of gender and sexuality in teen

lives today. How can we empower each other to transform as a

community?
