Kiki–memorias de sparkles y besos, se entrelazan, creando nuevas emociones, sentimientos, a feeling…
Kiki–memories of sparkled sprinkled kisses…

In their paintings, Flor allows Kiki to flutter away from whatever preconceptions we might have about monarch butterflies. Flor recalls seeing images of monarchs in protest posters carried by Dreamers & on murals in Pilsen, Chicago, where they live. They wondered if the monarch ever got tired of carrying these narratives of multigenerational migration, of survival, change, & beauty. Flor gives Kiki space to find & embody her multiplicities, a place to rest from imposed societal roles & narratives. Flor opens a window for Kiki who didn’t quite fit in with the rest of her monarch group… a queer butterfly who is somehow bad at migrating, struggling, & performing her “monarch” roles. Kiki is a dream space for queer narrative stories about our bodies, environments, & relationships. About our need not only for survival & places to rest but also a space to allow ourselves to manifest endless joy, to conjure the world & relationships we need beyond survival. All done with a fantastical twist because we all need bedtime stories to dream up new possibilities…

Everybody
