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’s best to bring originals. If they are too big bring photos on a USB-stick. We have a projector.
The following artistic media are possible: drawing, painting, photography, collage, sculpture, music, poetry.
Lola von der Gracht
is a contemporary artist from Germany who works in multimedia, including photography, performance and installation. Her work explores social belonging, origin, identity and gender. She has exhibited internationally and will begin the workshop by presenting her art and giving insights into how her queer identity has influenced her artistic work.
After this introduction, participants will have the opportunity to present and talk about their own artwork.
This project was supported with federal and state funds as part of the joint task “Improvement of the regional economic structure” (GRW).
