Abstract: “Would You Be Caught Dead In That Outfit?” is a collaborative project by artists Rebeka Rodriguez and Julián Delgado Lopera
that uses “photographs, journals and archival material” in order to explore how “TransLatinas reshape the raw material of
daily life to produce new aesthetic forms.” The project’s first event was held in December 2018 at The Stud bar in San Francisco
and included, in the words of Delgado Lopez, “a kiki panel, a runway, a photobooth and an installation of archival material
from that time period.” The project’s second instantiation was exhibited at the Pacific Felt Factory Arts Complex (PFF) from
September 22 to October 20, 2022. For the PFF event, Delgado Lopera hosted a writing workshop with five members of El/La Para
Translatinas, an advocacy organization for trans, intersex, and gender diverse Latinx people in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Participants created journals featuring prose reflections and watercolor and pencil images. Rodriguez photographed three of
the participants in their homes. This collection includes PFF writing workshop journals from Alessandra Barahona, Erika Rosales,
Juan Alberto, and Sthefany Galante; and five, 12” x 18” giclée printed photographic portraits of Sthefany Galante (two prints),
Alessandra Barahona (two prints), and Juan Alberto Camacho.
