Overview
[AI Summary]: Leo Palma reflects on their early work in the Praxis program at UVA Scholars’ Lab, exploring how digital mapping can visualize queer belonging through the life and work of intersex sculptor Fiore de Henriquez (1921-2004). Drawing inspiration from Lucas LaRochelle’s Queering the Map, Palma considers how to map both the geographic locations of de Henriquez’s sculptures and the artist’s performative narratives about gender experience. The post examines theoretical frameworks for representing how queerness inhabits unexpected spaces beyond traditional queer venues.
