SUMMARY:Opening reception for Rooted and Radical: The Art of Queer and Trans Resilience
DESCRIPTION:The Fabulous Arts Foundation Presents: Rooted & Radical: The Art of Queer & Trans Resilience\, an exhibition celebrating strength\, heritage\, and the transformative power of creative expression. \n“Rooted & Radical” explores the deep connections queer and trans individuals have to their communities\, cultural legacies\, and personal journeys. Artworks should reflect themes of resilience\, self-discovery\, resistance\, healing\, and radical self-expression. \nJoin Us in Showcasing the Power of Queer & Trans Art \nThis exhibition is more than a showcase—it’s a statement of resilience\, a reclamation of space\, and a celebration of creative defiance. \n\nIf you’re wondering\, “WHY IS SAM IN A SHOW FOR QUEER AND TRANS ARTISTS? Is Sam queer or trans?” Well\, I’m definitely not trans and have never identified as queer. All my relationships have been heterosexual (Of Pride events I’ve done\, I’ve joked that I’m “putting the plus in LGBT+”). That said\, I really fucking dislike the word “man.” Traditional masculinity isn’t anything I identify with. (I delight at being called a “FAGGOT”). I’m not especially fond of the word “woman” either though and certainly identify with that even less. I don’t think it makes sense to call me gender fluid either. I’ve used he/him pronouns since I was born and have no problem with ’em. Ultimately\, gender doesn’t mean anything to me. It’s just not a useful concept in my life or for my identity. I realize that it is helpful or empowering for some other people; just not for me. \nAnd all of that ties into the central point of the piece that I’ve got in this exhibition. So go check it out. \n(Regarding all of the above\, if anyone thinks those beliefs and attitudes do indeed put me in the category of “queer artists\,” that’s fine with me. It’s just not a label I would personally claim because it doesn’t resonate with me\, and so claiming it would make me feel like an impostor trying to capitalize on someone else’s movement. But I will HAPPILY EXHIBIT with anyone (that’s doing anything positive) that’ll have me). \n\nTickets for the opening reception are free but (I believe) limited. You can get them here. \nThe exhibition runs for two months. This listing is just for the opening reception. Details for the rest of its run are here. \nShare this:\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			More\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n				Mastodon\n			\n				Share on Nextdoor (Opens in new window)\n				Nextdoor\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on Telegram (Opens in new window)\n				Telegram\n			\n				Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n				Threads\n			\n				Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n				Tumblr\n			\n				Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n				WhatsApp
