This is actively built

This is actively built is a curated research residency that holds a space for artists from the queer community to dialogue, collaborate and create. Participating artists bring their practices into the shared work space, and are invited to articulate the questions, challenges, and dreams they have in relation to their practice and queerness. The goal is to build community and queer art-making structures through cross-pollination, mutual education and creative support.
