Reception: June 4, 5 - 9 PM
Mighty Real / Queer Detroit will gather together, for the first time, a grand-scale representation of the range and depth of Detroit queer art – and then, through panels, essays, and a printed catalogue inspire reflection and discussion.
The exhibition will explore queer art by emerging and established Detroit artists. Celebrating artists, past and present, from Detroit and its metropolitan area, whose works manifest distinct but intersecting backgrounds. Mighty Real/Queer Detroit will occur across multiple venues simultaneously, including several evenings of music, film, spoken word and performance work.
Mighty Real/Queer Detroit will open in June 2022, coinciding with the traditional celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride, presenting a month-long reflection on the diversity of the community and its longtime allies.
Historically, this is a time to commemorate the advances of queer people, and to honor the past. Today, we do so with heightened significance, especially in the current moment of political uncertainty.
