On display in the South Gallery at the Columbia Art League
June 11 - July 8, 2024
Reception: Thursday, June 20th, 5:30-7 PM in the South Gallery at the Columbia Art League
In honor of the Stonewall Uprising in June of 1969–heralded as a catalyst of the pro-LGBT movement in the United States–LGBTQIA2S+* Pride Month is widely celebrated in June, including here at CAL. Artist and writer Brandon Wint defines Queer as “escaping definition…like some sort of fluidity and limitlessness at once…like a freedom too strange to be conquered. Queer like the fearlessness to imagine what love can look like and pursue it.”
And that’s what to expect from this show highlighting local Queer artists and art: Art that escapes definition; art that’s strange and soft and strong and unconquerable; art courageous enough to imagine what the world could be, and bold enough to create and share it with us.
