Queer Cultural Center has invited an amazing international group of talented visual\/media artists for the queer arts exhibition of the 12th Annual National Queer Arts Festival in California USA.
\nThe title of the exhibition is ‘Threads’. Threads is not just about fashion and costume, but also how queerness weaves the threads of our physical, moral and social existence into a multi-dimensional fabric of community and self. The opening of the show at Somarts Gallery was\u00a0celebated music, performances, food and drinks last Saturday.<\/p>\n

Congratulation to Henriette and all the other artists, whom the curators of Threads\u00a0have invited to join the exhibition.<\/p>\n
