100 Images Explore a Queer Utopia at the Queer Biennial 2018 (Art)

The Queer Biennial is an international survey focusing on current moments in LGBTQ art and culture that showcases emerging, mid-career, and established artists.

This third installment of the Queer Biennial, titled "What if Utopia," asks the invited artists/writers/performers to explore their own sensibilities of an ideal, other worldly-landscape and examine ideas of a Queer Utopia. This theme is proposed in broad terms, leaving participants to explore it in the abstract: the carnal, the cerebral, the fantastical, the optical.

The opening reception with John Waters happens at 8 p.m. on June 1 at NAVEL, 1611 S. Hope St, Los Angeles
Admission is free. For a complete list of participating artists and more information go to the website. The full schedule of events can be seen here.
