Spanning fashion, jewelry, drawing, painting, and drag, Keith Lafuente’s interdisciplinary practice revolves around the body and notions of identity and desire. Keith creates fashion collections, which come alive in narrative runway shows featuring queer Asian friends and peers.
Filipino culture and history are fused with various subjects such as nursing, tourism, beauty pageants, and anime, exploring the ways in which identity is constructed, commodified, and consumed - as well as the complex and celebratory ways it is embodied. Keith’s artwork has been included in shows at Jack Hanley Gallery (NY), New Release (NY), and the Institute of Contemporary Art San José (CA) among others, while my fashion and drag have appeared in publications including The Cut, Cultured, Harper's Bazaar Hong Kong, and Gayletter.
