Rafa Esparza is a Latino, queer, the creates performance, mixed media and installation art in Los Angeles. He's a multi-range artistic phenomenon. He performed this Summer at the Hammer Museum and it was a sensation! He had viewers mesmerized and moved. His work is about the convergence of Mexican and Indigenous natural themes, and proposes a feeling of nostalgia for earth-bound ancient cultures of the Maya, Aztecs. He performs at his installations, the rituals that he creates make the viewer feel like a voyeur in a time warp watching a queer modern-day shaman connect with his ancestors.
