I'm a Brooklyn based Black queer artist currently developing a project called SUN SONGS that explores Our ability to transcend our physical bodies in order to reconnect with the stars in order to map a new future for Ourselves.
As I've been developing the project I've learned that a big part of the project is asking other Black queer bodies what their relationship to their own bodies are and if they feel a desire to look to stars to connect or "reconnect" rather with something much higher than our temporary physical forms.
Peerspace is on a mission to bring people together. We believe it is impossible to achieve that goal unless we also fight for equality and access to resources in the communities we serve.
Having a space to gather, create, and exchange ideas is an important part of any movement. In order to magnify voices that are often quieted, Peerspace will sponsor venues for people who challenge prejudice and fight for social justice and equality.
Each quarter, we will sponsor space for three projects that are relevant to our community. These projects can range from fundraisers and educational initiatives to art exhibits and photo series.
