The Unveiling: Spiritual Invocations of Queer Femmes of Color evokes who you really are, the voice of your story, the different shades of your dreams, the truth of your everyday life. Sunshine Velasco’s lens captures the voices of those who share their own experiences with them. The raw, the grainy, the gritty. The movement, the angle, the music. Sunshine invites you to experience this beautiful journey, to see your reflection in their visions, to embody the fullness and richness of your lives, as they share their experience with you.
