> Felix d'Eon's Ancestral Reflections opens at SoHo Project Space on November 13, 2026. A guide to its questions of queer love, history and representation.

Ancestral Reflections: The Art of Felix d'Eon opens at SoHo Project Space in New York on November 13, 2026, and runs through November 29. The exhibition places queer love within a conversation about history, cultural identity and who gets represented in art. The opening reception is November 13, from 6 to 9 PM.

The gallery describes d'Eon as a Mexicayotl practitioner whose work brings identity, culture and history together. Its account stresses joy and eroticism while challenging the idea that queer love belongs only to the present. Rather than approaching the exhibition as a complete historical record, consider how an artist makes a claim about visibility through images.

The exhibition page includes works titled Quecholcoatl y Axayacatl, Ars et amore and Estudio de Pablo como Mercurio, alongside studies of individual figures. These titles offer different ways into the work: named people, a reference to art and love, and a figure presented as Mercury. Read the title after looking and ask what it adds to the relationship you first noticed.

Try a simple comparison between two works. Who is alone, and who is shown in relation to someone else? What do clothing, pose and the setting lead you to assume about time and place? Then separate what is visible from what you bring to it. These are suggestions for looking, not claims that each work has one correct interpretation.

SoHo Project Space is at 127B Prince Street. The exhibition page lists regular hours Thursday and Friday, 4 to 8 PM, and Saturday and Sunday, 2 to 6 PM; the opening reception has its own later end time. It also announces a cultural art class with live models on November 14, 3 to 5 PM, including a history of Indigenous tradition and attire. Check with the gallery for participation arrangements before attending the class.
