Using a pattern that has roots in several Ancient cultures, Meander brings together the colors from a variety of Pride flags. The small printed portraits found throughout the mural come from two sources. Blended together in harmony are linoblock images produced by citizens of Austin of themselves or loved ones as well as artist produced illustrations of persons from the Queer community who have helped moved forward the cause of equality. Scroll down this page to see galleries of all the portraits in the project.
Meander is part of the inaugural 2-D version of the City of Austin's Tempo Public Art Program. Special thanks to the Parks & Recreation department for hosting our community workshops at the Lamar Senior Center and to Midtown Ishmael Law Firm, PC for their financial support.
about
Veronica Ceci is a Queer femme artist who started Flash Collective in 2014 after having a bad experience paying to participate in an art fair in NYC. Her eyes were opened to a whole industry built around charging artists money to ostensibly grow their practice or promote their work, but in reality only making money for the people producing the events or publications. Ceci decided to be the change she wanted to see, and to make art events where all participants, artists and viewers, are treated how things would be in an ideal world.
