For this group show, the LGBTQ+ project group of Open Atelier created a utopian future where difference and diversity are recognised as beautiful and celebrated.
The Open Atelier project group meets weekly, combining art, community and therapy; representing diverse cultural backgrounds within the LGBTQ+ community. The artworks include group projects and individual art pieces such as henna tattoos, costumes, photography, paintings, film and installations. We will also watch together the director’s cut version of Mi Ka’s animation: Work in progress (2021).

ABOUT
Queer Currents is an events platform that brings more content and culture to Queerness. Started in 2018, the first annual edition was held in 2019. Queer Currents is an annual program on 15 days and 15 locations, with events, lectures, film, expo, dance and music on 15 Queer topics. The goal is to bring more diverse and inclusive, relevant content, culture and art to the Pride Amsterdam weeks.

Since 2009 the visual therapy team of i-psy organises an exhibition every year for and with artists from the open studios. Read more about i-psy Open Atelier at Framer Framed.
Framer Framed is a platform for contemporary art, visual culture, and critical theory & practice. Each year the organisation presents a variety of exhibitions in collaboration with both emerging and established international curators and artists. An extensive public program is organised alongside these exhibitions in order to shed light on the topics concerned, and provide a wide range of perspectives. With this common space for dialogue, Framer Framed aims to show a plurality of voices in a globalised society.
