#FF0000, featuring the work of tom manzanarez. It will be showing at Gallery B10 at PNCA, opening reception and performance by the artist on November 3, 2022, from 5pm-8pm.

#FF0000 presents an exhibition of recent photographs, installation, and performance work by tom manzanarez. Centering their experience as a gender non-conforming person, manzanarez examines the ways in which the gender binary system works to define, restrict, and ultimately minimize them and those within their communities.

#FF0000 is the hexadecimal color value made of 100% red in a RGB color space. Potent with associations, the presence of red within the exhibition space stretches connotations of rage, pride, violence, and danger. manzanarez’s work reflects the quite literal trampling done unto them as well as the fight to rise from the futile athleticism of upholding gender roles centered around ‘man’ and ‘woman’.

#FF0000 is on display at Gallery B10 at the Pacific Northwest College of Art until November 18, 2022. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, November 3rd at 5:00pm, in accompaniment with the Pearl District’s First Thursday.
