The workshop “Queer Art & Identity” is aimed at queer creatives who want to present and share their work in a safe group of queer people. The aim of the workshop is to explore the question of how queer identity influences or even fuels artistic creation.
Together, we will explore how we can tell our stories and represent our identities artistically when words are not enough. What themes connect us as queer artists and how are they reflected in our work?
It is best to bring originals. If they are too big, photos. We have a projector.
All artistic media are possible (drawing, painting, photography, collage, sculpture, music, poetry, etc.).
