Beyond the Binary: Celebrating Queer Love
A project of In Our Skin.
What better way to kick off pride month than embracing queer love?
Beyond the Binary: Celebrating Queer Love is more than a photo exhibit. It’s a display that showcases the beauty of Queerness and what it means to love as Queer people.
With a formal definition that doesn’t do it justice, Queerness is more than an umbrella term to describe those who aren’t cisgender or heterosexual. Queerness is an act of defiance and an expression of what the status quo DOESN’T look like. Because let’s be real, who wants to uphold the existing conditions of what love “is supposed to” look like? To engage in queer love is not only a celebration of joy, but an act of resilience.
Queerness doesn’t have a definitive structure. It doesn’t fit neatly into boxes – and that’s what makes it so beautiful. That’s why we’ll be showcasing just a few queer folks at this exhibit.
Come out and enjoy a celebration of beauty as well as good camaraderie and complimentary beverages!
About In Our Skin:
Starting as a passion project in 2020, In Our Skin focused on breaking down traditional, Euro-centric standards of beauty by creating spaces where we can be unapologetically authentic and decolonize everything we know about the beauty industry. It has evolved to showcase all things challenging the status quo.
