Online exhibition of Queer Art Festival Baku - Queer AF

Nafas LGBTI Azerbaijan Alliance is delighted to present their new initiative - Queer Art Festival Baku - Queer AF.

More about the Exhibition:

To organize the Queer Art Festival online exhibition Nafas brought together 8 different artists working with different tools and asked them to create a collective online exhibition. The main theme of the exhibition is called “Queer x Azerbaijan: My Body, My Identity, My Heritage, My Environment”. It is the beginning of “Queer x Azerbaijan” series and each 2 artists had been working on different sub-categories (Eg: 2 artists on “My Identity"). Artists created a general story-line and they followed each other on visual contents they create and the descriptions / stories they tell to ensure that different topics are covered. In every sub-category the artists explored and visualized the topic in a strictly LGBT+ and feminism focused perspective and mostly the themes of the works are connected to the local queer and feminist issues that communities face.

Also, visit festival's Instagram account @queerartfest to see more pieces of local artists. You can also vote for your favorite pieces that are part of an ongoing online festival now. The voting will last until 21st of February. By “liking” your favourite entry you will be voting for the pieces.
