Eurovision & World Pride to feature The Queer Face of War

After exciting US launches at MoMA PS1 in NYC and Politics and Prose in DC, I've received several amazing invitations to share the work at some of Europe's most important cultural events this summer, including:

Eurovision Song Contest, Vienna: QFW has been selected to be part of Eurovision’s official “Offstage” program, with a gallery show of the work promoted to the thousands who will come to the city for the contest’s finals in May.

Pride Month Exhibition, Kyiv: I’m thrilled to be working with the Ukrainian organizations Insight and LGBTQI+ Military and Veterans for Equal Rights to present a special exhibition of QFW in Kyiv to mark Pride Month in June.

World Pride, Amsterdam: A QFW exhibit will also be featured as part of the World Pride program in Amsterdam at the end of July and beginning of August.

This is an incredible opportunity to build solidarity with Ukraine and queer people everywhere fighting authoritarianism.

But I need your help to make it happen. Most of the costs of the exhibits aren’t covered by the organizers. I need to raise funds to cover expenses like printing and travel costs—which have skyrocketed in recent weeks.

Can you help me raise $5,000 by May 1 to support this trip by donating here?

I’m grateful to the German organization Queer Emergency Aid Ukraine, which has helped organize this tour and is raising an additional $8,000 to share the project across Europe. (If you’re in the EU, donate to their campaign here.)

As always, a portion of funds raised will also go to direct aid for queer people and women in Ukraine.
