Socially Engaged Art Salon (SEAS) exhibition, “Intersections”, would like to give the stage again for the life experiences of LGBTQIA+ people who face further discrimination and marginalisation due to their ethnicity, disability, refugee and asylum seeker status, poverty, religion, age or other factors. We are particularly interested in including works which depict how the colonial legacy and racism still affects LGBTQIA+ lives as well as Afrofuturistic works.

For this exhibition, we seek either short films or web/digital/graphic, photography works and poems. In particular, we are interested to receive projects that were done as a series of between 5 to 10 images, research and/or narrative-based works and mixed media work that include images and audio. An example of the suggested formate can be viewed here: https://www.gmdart.com/lockdown-dairies.
