Join Bold Mellon Collective for the Queer Migrations Exhibition Opening Event!
Queer Migrations is a community arts festival foregrounding the complex intersections of queerness and migration — how bodies, identities, and stories move across borders, seas, and generations. By highlighting the resilience and creativity of queer migrants—past and present—Queer Migrations invites audiences and attendees to consider how histories of movement shape queer life today. Through performances, workshops, and community-led events, Queer Migrations asks us to reflect on what it means to move — and to be moved — as queer people in a world shaped by borders.
Commissioned artists have been invited to explore what it means to move — or be moved — as a queer person. What gets left behind, and what do we carry with us?
