My Own Private Rodeo (2023)
In collaboration with the City of West Hollywood and HIT, One Institute presents My Own Private Rodeo, by Coyote Park, a new exhibition of works by multimedia performing artist Coyote Park.
In navigating the world as a 2Spirit, Indigenous (Yurok), Korean-American transgender artist, Park asks, “What does it mean to exist in a way that my elders weren’t allowed to?” My Own Private Rodeo responds with a series of original photographic, video, and performance artworks by the artist that move through feelings of grief, mourning, loss, pride, redemption, and play. The exhibit elicits a deep place of isolation, sites where Park becomes a personal spectator of their own pain and a witness to their own transformation — a rodeo of aching glory: where they are the hunter, the hunted, the bull, and the rider.
My Own Private Rodeo, by Coyote Park is presented by the City of West Hollywood and HIT, in collaboration with One Institute, as part of the City of West Hollywood Pride Arts Festival.

I Love You Like Mirrors Do
(Feb 03, 2023 - Jul 16, 2023)
Inspired by research on images of intimate pairs in the Museum’s collection, Coyote Park’s new series of photographs explores their own deep bonds and intimate entanglements, reflecting and expanding queer illustrative and photographic histories. Documenting ephemera and energetic connections between past lovers, current partners, and those they hold close, Park aims to capture the unspoken understandings of how they see and are seen. In their photographs, presented alongside rarely-exhibited works from the Museum’s collection, Park envisions love dynamics, lived and represented, as reflective and contingent: we are all mirrored refractions of one another.
Coyote Park: I Love You Like Mirrors Do is the inaugural project of the Museum’s Interventions series, which engages queer artists and cultural producers to dive into LLMA’s extensive collection and creatively present their research, building new narratives and interpretations from diverse subjectivities.

All Kin is Blood Kin (2021)
Aupuni Space presents All Kin is Blood Kin by Coyote Park, an intimate exploration of what family means within a queer context. Family comes in all forms. Family shifts like the tides: drawing us closer to people, drifting from others, but always carrying us collectively. All Kin is Blood Kin is a love story to Park’s trans family, honoring all of the people that remind them of what family means.
While drawn from a larger series by the same name, the photographic selections on display highlight Park’s connection to Hawai‘i, having grown up on the island of O‘ahu. Park is Indigenous to Northern California (Yurok), and has been deeply influenced by growing up in Hawai‘i where their family immigrated to.
Where is the place we come home to as people born from a nation of immigrants? Where do we call home when we are othered due to who we love and who we are?
These questions are where Park’s work emerges from as a 2Spirit, mixed race (Korean, White, Native American) person. Asian and Indigenous diaspora in Hawai’i has shaped a culture of togetherness in the way that community holds one another and shows up for each other’s joy, as well as hardships. Park’s photography documents the act of holding in different interactions with their partners, friends, and chosen family. Thinking of the body as land and tending to it is important to Park, having undergone trans affirming surgeries, such as top surgery, as documented within the series. Finding that safety within their vessel and in the hands that hold them is life saving. It is a feeling of coming home.
