Philadelphia Magic Gardens exhibition examines queerness, migration and belonging
Artist Santiago Galeas is presenting his first solo museum exhibition, "Entre Raíces y Alas" (Between Roots and Wings), at the Philadelphia Magic Gardens. The showcase features a series of portraits and landscapes that explore the intersection of queer identity, the first-generation immigrant experience, and the concept of diaspora. Galeas, a graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the New York Academy of Fine Arts, utilizes symbolic imagery and intimate interviews with his subjects to capture the vulnerability and essence of the queer Latin American community.
