Queer Artists Europe (2024 – today)
Since the pandemic, I have been developing an ongoing portrait series focusing on queer artists in different cities in Europe. Through photographic portraits, conversations, and exhibition formats, the project creates a growing archive of queer artistic voices and lived experiences. By meeting artists in their studios, homes, and performance spaces, I explore how they relate to their city, local LGBTQIA+ communities, and their own understanding of queerness. The portraits span a wide range of disciplines, from visual and performing arts to drag, music, film, literature, and digital media and bring together artists at different stages of their personal and professional lives.
The project places strong emphasis on care, visibility, and intersectionality, consciously including BIPoC artists and creatives who challenge heteronormative and binary structures. City-specific chapters such as Queer Artists Munich, Queer Artists Milano, and Queer Artists Reykjavík reflect on how cultural, political, and social contexts shape queer artistic practices. Situated within my long-term approach of queering documentary photography, the series examines questions of authorship, participation, and community-building, positioning photography as a collaborative space for empowerment, solidarity, and resistance across geographies.
