Circa: Queer Histories Festival
Through the process of translating light into images on tin, textile, and paper, we explore themes of ritual and ornamentation. This emphasis on analog photography, textile, and communal experimentation places this exhibition in a lineage of queer and trans artists, who have used traditions of craft to blur the line between nature, body, and art object.
Established in 2023, Circa: Queer Histories Festival is a month-long, LA County-wide programming series showcasing the trailblazing histories and vibrant cultural contributions of LGBTQ+ communities through the lens of present-day challenges and triumphs. Through exhibitions, performance, readings, screenings, lectures, dialogues, and parties, Circa features queer and trans artists, activists, and educators leading the movement for LGBTQ+ liberation.” Learn more
