Luar Fall/Winter 2018

He mentioned the obstacles we battle and overcome when exploring identity and how they change the ways in which we perceive both ourselves the world around us. He also stressed the importance of abandoning all preconceived notions, ridding our minds of whatever beliefs we have about who we are, what we are, and what we know.

Apparently making room for change is what leads us on this righteous journey of discovering the self. And with this Luar show, a journey it was. Backwards blazers, stilts, sunglasses that looked like they did not come from this earth. A fast-paced show with loud, intense music fueled the space with the momentum and energy necessary. When Raul Lopez says he wants to break down the norms, he isn't just breaking them. He's destroying them.
