Manuel Lopez, 2023 Virtual

From far Far Rockaway to the Catskill Mountains, Manuel E. “Manny” Lopez is fluttering about blossoms not only of his/their own hand-aided germination, but amidst daffodils and daisies dug down deep by schoolkids of the Manhattan Country School. Before the ides of March when we found him/them snowed in under two feet of snow, they lived in Brooklyn, acted on stages for a living, and roller skated in Prospect Park for recreation. Newly inspired by a change of scenery, he wants to write songs and is eager to broaden his horizons as a performance artist.
