Holes, History, and the Smoking Mirror
October 7 | Noon | University Recital Hall
Free admission, everyone welcome
Meaning “smoking mirror” in Nahuatl, Tezcatl is a polished piece of obsidian that functions as a portal or aperture with which to traverse our layered worlds and temporalities. Its appearance is that of a camera’s lens, a hole in space, a portal into alternative histories and parallel realities. Hole Tech steps through the threshold into the liminal space of queer Chicanx hole-based time travel.
Migueltzinta Solís is a trans Chicanx interdisciplinary artist, writer, educator, and Tarot practitioner. A creator of immersive site-specific experiences, his creative practice blends performance, video, installation, painting, and textile. Migueltzinta holds an MFA in Art and a PhD in Cultural, Social and Political Thought from the University of Lethbridge/Iniskim.
