What does home mean to you? For the queer individual, the idea of home may embody notions across both metaphorical and physical, whether through desires of a collective through shared subjectivity, or building structures of safe spaces and shelters. This exhibit – guest curated by Anna Li – posits queer home as a site of transgressive belonging; our existence as a challenge and disruption of the patriarchal ideal and traditions of home and family. From the queer diasporas in Wifi Rider and Jackfruit, to the lesbian utopias of Superdyke and The Potluck and the Passion, the short films in this exhibit highlight the transformative and radical power of queer belonging.

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT
SHOWTIME® and The Human Rights Campaign launched the Queer To Stay small business preservation initiative in 2020 to support and preserve 10 LGBTQIA+ businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic with a focus on LGBTQ+ people of color, women and the transgender community. This year, the initiative expands to support at least 25 businesses, targeting businesses from geographically diverse LGBTQ+ communities. For the first time ever, QUEER TO STAY will launch with a grassroots outreach campaign kicking off during Pride Month with a presence in over 155 national Pride festival events spanning coast to coast, and at iconic festivals including Outfest Film Festival. Additionally, an enhanced crowdfunding feature will enable consumers to support the initiative through the end of the year. QUEER TO STAY will accept applications from qualifying businesses at QueertoStay.org now through Saturday, August 31, 2022.
