Queer Biennial III: What if Utopia?

12-6PM daily

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 Queer Biennial takes place at many locations throughout Los Angeles from June 1-30. For a full schedule of events and locations, visit http://www.queerbiennial.org/schedule
