Opening Reception: Queer Conscience 2026 Exhibition
at The Image Flow
(5 PM - 7 PM)
The Image Flow invites photographic artists closely tied to the LGBTQIA2+ community to submit work to our 4th Annual juried photography exhibition, Queer Conscience 2026. Queerness and photography have been intertwined since the medium's inception.
We find ourselves in a moment of contradiction. In the United States, there have been significant victories against homophobia, sexism, and transphobia-- partial and unevenly experienced, but undeniable. At the same time, as the call for this exhibition reminds us, "queer rights are under attack unlike ever before." This year, Queer Conscience is positioned within this tension, seeking to push back against these forces while affirming our lived and embodied truths through photography. The works gathered here do precisely that: they affirm and they resist-formally, politically, affectively, and poetically.
