Yanina Angelini Arismendi is a designer, neuve invention artist, and political activist. Originally from Montevideo, Uruguay, they currently reside in Fredericksburg with their partner Justin Young. Last year, the couple co-founded Art Mart, an intimate experimental gallery and performance space. In anticipation of Two Faced Little Bitch, Yanina’s upcoming duo exhibition of visionary mixed media works dealing with gender identity, politics, and personal struggles, we put together a photoshoot to capture both of their gender presentations in all their standoffish glory. Deal with it, bitch.

Two Faced Little Bitch will have its opening reception at Art Mart (1405 Princess Anne Street) on Friday, July 1 from 6–9 PM. See more of Yanina’s work at yaninaangelini.com.
