Don’t Tell My Parents About This Show, Harvey Tolentino Doniego Solo Exhibition

If you are reading this, you have been invited into Harvey Tolentino Doniego’s secret life.

This exhibition gathers cherished memories and moments of liminality—their thoughts, prayers, hopes, and desires. Some of these parts were never meant to be seen, or at least not by those who raised them to imagine something different. In sharing them, they ask for quiet understanding. What exists within this space is held between the work and its viewer.

This exhibition is an acknowledgment of who they have become—in spite of, because of, and inspired by their parents. Artery is a space transformed for hidden fragments of the self to exist freely, without apology.

At its core, the work introduces their evolving “Q’we’re theory”—an ongoing body of exhibition and prose reflecting on the liminality, complexity, and community of being queer. Once a word used to mark the othered,odd and alternative queer is reclaimed here as campy, creative and community.

Viewers are invited to perceive differently, to engage with empathy, and to embrace curiosity and intuition—both within yourselves and in relation to others. Enjoy curiously.
