La Mano Izquierda: an Essay on Erasure is an archival exhibition that utilizes video, installation, performance, alternative storytelling, and textiles to develop a multi-sensory space that incorporates strategies inherent to the museological and archival disciplines. All these elements come together to form a museological display of the hand-made remains of the lives and memories of a biomythographical queer guerrilla group called La Mano Izquierda. The artworks that compose the exhibition explore issues of identity, queerness, race, loss, memory, erasure, reclamation, and revival.
