The opening of the Queer Feminist Art Exhibition “We are here, we are queer” was opened at Some Space Gallery in Chiang Mai, Thailand on June 1. Organizers told DVB that it was the first queer feminist exhibit of its kind in northern Thailand.

“You can sense the freedom to express yourself. You can also sense the bravery. You don’t need to hide,” said May, a resident of Chiang Mai from Myanmar. “I think it would be [great] if we could bring this kind of essence of freedom back to where we are from.”

The “We are here, we are queer” exhibit runs until June 15 at some Space Gallery from 5-9 pm. The event organizer and founder of Some Space Gallery, Ice, told DVB that queer feminist means that all are welcome to attend and learn more about “queer concepts.”
