Beau McCall: Divas, Blues, and Memories draws from three distinct series that together celebrate music’s role as a source of inspiration, cathartic emotional solace, and marker of significant life experiences.  Anchoring the exhibition are McCall’s music-themed collages. McCall created each one by hand using his personal archival photos and papers, along with images from his button-embellished artwork. Once completed, the works were scanned and printed on metal for luminosity. Divided into two categories, the collages pull from his Diva Worship and REWIND: MEMORIES ON REPEAT series. The former features portraits of both famous and underrepresented divas–of all gender identities–whose music inspired, empowered, and captivated McCall, particularly during his coming-of-age in the 1970s LGBTQ+ community.
