SHOW STATEMENT:
Queer Expression is a collaborative show with Laramie Pridefest on the start of Pride Month to showcase the celebration of the myriad forms of queer identity in the West. Through the lens of art, this exhibition seeks to illuminate the rich tapestry of 2SLGBTQIA+ identities, experiences, and narratives in Laramie. From bold statements challenging societal norms to intimate reflections on personal journeys, each piece invites viewers to explore the beauty and complexity of queer rural existence. This show celebrates the power of art to uplift local queer voices, provoke thought, and foster connection within the local LGBTQ+ community and beyond. The artists showcased in this exhibition are invited to engage with diverse perspectives, embrace authenticity, and envision a world where all expressions of love and identities are celebrated.
