Gilbert Salazar is a Queer first-generation Chicano and citizen of the Tohono O’odham Nation, who works as an educator and artist. His writing explores: queerness, masculinity, violence, spirituality and liberation, and he is interested in the genres of horror and magic realism to tell stories of oppression. As a playwright he has been produced by Josefina Lopez in a workshop production of his first play. He has co-produced a short film based on his short play entitled, “Sippin,’” a story that explores what happens when white fragility is served in a cup. His non-fiction writing has been published by the Society for the Study of Gloria Anzaldua Symposium (El Retorno), Entropy online journal, and most recently in Entre Magazine. He is also a contributing author to, “Colorizing Restorative Justice,” and the special arts edition of the International Journal of Restorative Justice.
