SUMMARY:All Ways Lead to the Mill
DESCRIPTION:Aggregate Space Gallery & Qcc present\nAll Ways Lead to the Mill\nJune 3 – June 18\nAggregate Space Gallery\nhttp://aggregatespacegallery.org\nOpening Reception: June 3\, 6-10pm.\nArtist Talk: June 11\, 1pm.\nJamil Hellu \nFREE \nAll Ways Lead to the Mill is a solo exhibition by visual artist Jamil Hellu\, investigating the conflicts that emerge at the intersection of Middle-Eastern heritage and queerness. Exploring how we determine relationships to cultural histories and personal narratives\, Hellu claims his identity in relation to his Syrian roots and Arab ethnicity. All Ways Lead To The Mill is inspired by a Syrian proverb about how different paths lead to the same destination. His work juxtaposes performative moving and still images to address homophobia and sexuality\, creating a contemporary discourse about the implications of cultural lineage. \nARTIST’S BIOGRAPHY \nDiscipline: Visual Art \nCreating Queer Community \n

SUMMARY:Muck and Sparkle: The Magic and Pain of Survival
DESCRIPTION:Queer Youth Productions\, Galeria de la Raza & Qcc present\nMuck and Sparkle: The Magic and Pain of Survival\nJune 2\nGaleria de la Raza\, Studio 24\, 6pm\nEPLi\, Ariel Springfield & Madhvi Trivedi\nFREE \nWebsite: www.queeryouthproductions.com\nSocial Media: https://www.facebook.com/events/463631963830713/ \nWith hands outstretched to the future\, Queer Youth Productions’ traveling exhibit\, Muck and Sparkle: The Magic and Pain of Survival\, brings forth the art of expanding hearts and the paradox of possibility in a candid array of artwork from LGBTQIA2S youth. The show brings with it the specter of struggle that youth maneuver to (re)claim space and carve out the complexities of their identities. \nAlongside powerful depictions of self determination\, this exhibit transcends the two dimensional\, offering a unique glimpse into the less-often-heard-seen-thought-touched-interiority of vulnerability that comes with uncovering (un)truths of gender and sexuality. By centering voices of queer youth\, we are able to reflect upon work that has been done in queer communities as well as build intergenerational conversations for envisioning supportive and liberating futures. Within these artworks is a resilient force of magic that speaks to a collective and time-defying queer tongue. \nARTISTS’ BIOGRAPHIES \nFunded in part by The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence\, Sister Grant. \n \n  \nDiscipline: Visual Art \nCreating Queer Community

SUMMARY:Manifesting Access
DESCRIPTION:The Idriss Stelley Foundation & Qcc present\n Manifesting Access\nJune 1\nAAACC\, 7:30pm\nLisa Ganser \n$10-20 sliding scale\, NOTA\nTickets: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2550348 \nManifesting Access is an intentionally more accessible (captioned and audio described) collection of short movies that expose truths at the intersection of disability and police terror. From the Sins Invalid Statement Against Police Violence: “Disabled people who are Autistic\, who are Deaf\, who live with mental health impairments or cognitive impairments\, epilepsy or movement disorders\, are at highest risk of being assaulted by police\, and that is deeply compounded when we are further marginalized by homelessness\, transphobia\, and white supremacy.” \nThis screening makes accessible the work of artists and activists including Janetta Johnson\, Noémie Serfaty\, Akiko Sampson\, Kin Folkz\, Lisa Ganser\, Judy Hanks with Nazeem and Spencer Joles\, Tali Jones\, Colin Ashante\, Leroy Moore & Emmitt Thrower\, and Mario Farid. The showcase highlights the life’s work of La Mesha Irizarry\, mother of Idriss Stelley\, and her legacy of activism. \nARTISTS’ BIOGRAPHIES \nDiscipline: Film/Video \nCreating Queer Community
