In this Q&A with queer artist Robert Alvarez, we discuss the importance of identity and representation, the challenges of finding a sense of belonging in a rapidly changing city like Austin, and the power of art to inspire.
Liberation Barbell Club
We are building a strength community for all people. Our aim is to create a safe and healthy place for athletes, hobbyists and beginners to find fulfillment and friendship. We celebrate success and support each other through difficulty and failure. We embrace difference and we challenge the status quo. We believe that true strength begins within. The foundation of our gym and community is dignity, best expressed by Donna Hick’s work and her “Ten Elements of Dignity”. These elements are the basis of our code of conduct as well as the framework for how we treat our members and each other.
