Emerging artist Mattie Hinkley focuses on queer bodies and physicality in her solo exhibition, Body Work, at the Iridian Gallery. Exploring gender identity and the fluidity of sexuality, Hinkley’s ink and graphite illustrations feature large, muscular, seemingly female-bodied characters placidly engaged with their environment. Some characters are alone, some are engaged in heteronormative or traditionally feminine activities, and some take up submissive, queer, or masculine roles. They are caught candidly, in the comfort of their bodies, rather than in a performative state.

Join us for an opening reception this Friday, June 8, 7-9 PM.
1407 Sherwood Ave., in the gallery.

Come celebrate the inaugural Black Pride RVA by watching a drag show (featuring Ms. Black Pride RVA!) and enjoying all-you-can-eat pasta served with salad, bread and a beverage. Then stick around for an after party & the crowning of Ms. Black Pride RVA!
