Herrera, a Mexican writer, activist and filmmaker, will explore how he embraces the worst parts of social media to deliver queer messaging to a wider audience than ever before. Herrera’s short films explore LGBTQ culture, politics and history, paying homage to our past and educating a younger generation. His Fathers is a sci-fi documentary and multimedia project which imagines the AIDS pandemic never existed and a generation lived to change the world. His viral “essay memes” can be found on Instagram @herreraimages.
