Pablo Lerma rearranged and reframed these images into three thematic groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first group contains images of the body, the second group contains images about norms and expectations and the third group contains images about love, relationships and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the section on the <em>Homologie<\/em> magazine from the IHLIA collection, the exhibition also consists of two parts in which the representation of gay men in the USA and in Spain is highlighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About Pablo Lerma<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pablo was born in the 80s in Spain, has lived in the USA for almost seven years, and in 2019 moved to the Netherlands. He realised his identity in the 90\u2019s, and grew up surrounded by visually stereotypical representations of gay men in mass culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time has passed, but those stereotypes live on. Even the archives that are dedicated to queer legacy often lack alternatives. Take family pictures for example: the genre that bridges generations, creates a sense of belonging, and shapes collective memory; gay community cannot find itself there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pass it on.
