CBC: "Art is my Home Country"
Toronto artist Julius Poncelet's Manapul's intricate paper sculptures are more than meets the eye. "A lot of audiences see my work at first glance — 'Oh, it's beautiful butterflies!' — and then upon getting closer they realize...it's made out of gay porn."But Manapul's work isn't just a gimmick designed to surprise and shock audiences — it's meant to explore and question his identity and the experience of people of colour in the queer community.

"Kissing Utopia Good-Bye"
These materials challenged me to explore the human relationships within the Disney conventional views of Love, Marriage, and Happy Endings, and parallel that idea with queer Love, Marriage and Happy Ending. The act of tracing these Disney figures recalls childhood memories and constructed images that conventionalized our ideologies within North American values. These are the images that are accecable to the public
"Whitewashed Queer Diaspora"
This work talks about the process of white washing from a diasporic perspective of a queer Filipino man. Trying to find my self within the Homonormative representations that upholds the masculine queer white male to be valued as seen on gay dating apps, gay magazines to gay media and club scenes. Where queer culture had rendered queer of colors unrepresented, invisible and exoticized.
