Ali draws inspiration from the street fashion and local couture of Baltimore, while Corona constructs whimsical garments that reference his Mexican heritage and love of plant life, transforming himself into a walking oasis appearing more organic than urban.īoth artists are known throughout the Baltimore art scene for gregarious projects such as Corona’s Copycat Theater, Ali’s culture blog, and numerous collaborations (although the two have not worked together until now).Īli has worked with TT the Artist as well as local video artists and producers Johnny Rogers, Joy Davis, and Schwarz on music videos and songs. Both artists are known for performances featuring unique energy and extravagant style. The reception on Wednesday, February 20th will bring together Abdu Ali and Hoesy Corona, two local artists whose very different work is woven from common threads. It’s all about encouraging an alternative dialogue in an informal, welcoming space. In the shadow of Valentine’s Day and Black History Month, Baltimore artists spanning different gender identities, sexual orientations, races, backgrounds, and creative practices will present alongside each other or collaborate. Room/Mates presents new queer binaries outside the box of “couple” in the context of the bedroom.
