Queer Arts Festival 2024 presents Varied Editions at Malaspina Printers on Granville Island to June 30
QUEER ARTS FESTIVAL 2024 is welcoming summer with Varied Editions, a group exhibition now running at Malaspina Printers that showcases the diversity and queerness of the printmaking community.
Varied Editions takes its title from the printmaking technique in which an artist alters individual prints within a greater context to create a series of similar, but uniquely distinct artworks. Pieces by 12 artists will be displayed, reflecting the breadth of divergence and practices within the medium. The creatives play with the 2024 fest’s theme, The Ties That Bind, or the queer family.
Curated by Cheryl Hamilton and Edward Fu-Chen Juan, the show features their work alongside that of Moozhan Ahmadzadegan, Eloisa Aquino, Jenie Gao, Chêne Gladu, Brent Haddow, Tajliya Jamal, Jenny Lin, Terra Poirier, Luca Cara Seccafien, and Carrielynn Victor (Xémontalot).
On June 29, Hamilton will lead a workshop called Queer Activism: Screenprint and Zine. For more information and to register, visit https://queerartsfestival.com/varied-editions/.
