In celebration of Pride month, Silvermine presents QUEERwerks, an exhibition that showcases the dynamic artistic spirit of the LGBTQIA+ community. Each artwork tells a compelling story, shedding light on personal journeys, struggles, triumphs, and the celebration of queer identity. QUEERwerks invites visitors to step into the artists’ worlds, fostering a dialogue that honors their complexities and truths.

 

Mature themes are expressed in this exhibition.
