Queer Narratives Festival
Visual Art Opening Reception
Past Futures is an exhibition and performance showcase inviting queer artists to explore the cyclical nature of history and identity. As queer people, our experiences often echo across generations—through personal discovery, community-building, and cultural shifts. Whether through familial legacies, evolving social landscapes, or the rhythms of self-expression, we continuously re-imagine our futures by looking to our past.
WHERE: Zhou B Art Center, Spirit Gallery
