The Queer Faces of War: Stories of Ukraine

Queer Svit x Bold Mellon Collective x VFD

To commemorate the launch of November's exhibit at the Outsiders Gallery, Queer Svit are curating a night at VFD.

Who are Queer Svit?

Queer Svit focus on helping queer and POC people affected by war in Ukraine, as those groups are especially vulnerable.

They have been operating since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine (March 4th is the exact date we started).

In these 8 months they have given consultations to 700 people and financially supported 150.

By coming to the event you will be helping Queer Svit tremendously, as all the proceeds will go directly towards helping Ukrainians affected by the relentless escalation of this horrible war.

The stories have been developed with those impacted, to give us a window into their lives over this past year, as well as to celebrate their bravery and resilience during wartime.

The performance will be accompanied by an exhibition featuring photos about queer life during wartime, along with a DJ set.
