The Queer Art Chat on Rest will focus on creating a gentle, restorative space for gathering. In each session, there will be an invitation to discuss artworks that deal with fatigue, exhaustion, slowness, respite, quiet, and care. This one-hour chat will be facilitated by Amber Hunnicutt and Isa Saldaña.
Queer Art Chats are a chance to build community among people invested in queer and trans perspectives, art, and liberation. No specialized understanding of art, art history, or queer theory is required; our own experiences and perspectives will form the basis for participation. In each session, participants will work with facilitators and each other to collectively generate ideas about queerness and transness.
