Right About Now: Queer Artists Confront the "New Normal"
African American Arts and Culture Complex, 7:30pm
$12-$20 sliding scale NOTAFLF
The election happened. Like everyone else, queer artists have been plunged into a new reality. So now what?
Through stories, performance, and multimedia art, queer artists will square off against post-election realities. They'll draw inspiration, critical lessons, and tactics from past generations of artist-activists who faced down historic challenges. They will interrogate just what the "new normal" is and ask if it really is all that new. They will demonstrate how we can we marshal queer joy, humor, and resilience in spite of the current challenges. Together, they will imagine a queer future that is informed, fierce, inventive, and visionary.
Founded in 1993, Qcc is a multiracial community-building organization that fosters the artistic, economic and cultural development of San Francisco's LGBT community. We implement our mission by operating programs that commission and present Queer artists, that promote the development of culturally diverse Queer arts organizations and that document significant Queer arts events taking place in San Francisco.
By presenting, exhibiting, screening and documenting queer artists' work, Qcc contributes to the development of a multicultural perspective on the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender experience.
