 Photo by Dustin Barlow. The writer shared the following story at Queer to Tell for Pride Fest at the Irish Repertory Theatre in New York City on June 27, 2024: Meet Lindsay. She’s one of my first friends ever and an early latent crush. She has two beauty marks on her left cheek and a Barbra Streisan bob. Adopted from Honduras by two white people, she’s stuck in suburban Virginia like me. Her adoptive parents are super white: Welsh and Irish descent. My mom is from El Salvador and my dad is of broadly British descent. He usually claims “Scottish.” Fast forward to my college days. He does the whole Ancestry.com and 23&Me thing; it’s clear he has Irish heritage, too. His very WASPy father would’ve hated that. The Irish are Catholics, not Protestant. Even at age 7, I know that. Mami has a hunch about Daddy’s Irish ancestry and goes overboard with St. Patrick’s Day enthusiasm. She’s big on fun. She also loves that the Irish are Catholic like her. Daddy’s father hated that she was Catholic and, you know, a “Spic.” His journalist son never should’ve married one of the “natives” he met covering their war. But he did and that’s how I, a “mutt,” was born.

 Diego Espaillat is a sculpture artist from NYC. He graduated from Lyme Academy College in 2017, his first residency and solo show were with Flux Factory in 2021, and he’s exhibited with Calderon Gallery and Chashama Gallery. Espaillat takes inspiration from his heritage to reimagine the Dominican folk art of Carnival masks. “I take familiar things and make them spectacular and unique so that people can experience something new and fresh with them” (Espaillat). He’s trained with renowned folk artists in Santiago and adapted the practice to make it his own, allowing the characteristic horns and ornate adornment of the Lechon Joyero, Vejignate, and Diablo Conjuelo influence all his sculpture. This summer Diego Espaillat is participating in the AnkhLave Arts Alliance’s 2024 Garden Project Fellowship, visit the AnkhLave house on Governors Island or go to his website to view his art.
