Hi,

I am putting together a queer culture visuals project for aLAF, a Lesbian Arts Festival which takes place in Dublin, Ireland in April 2005 and for Dublin Pride next summer again in Dublin, Ireland.

The project involves projecting queer images onto the street in Dublin during the festival and during Pride. I will be sourcing work by male and female queer artists, designers, film-makers and photographers (and images by people who don't necessarily identify as queer but who have a strong queer sensibility) from all over the world. My aim is to give an overview of queer culture, showing the links and diversities we all have with each other. I would like the result to be a bombardment of queer images and notions, so that viewers will see our culture is real, global and has been around for a long long time. Also I would hope the project would have the effect of raising awareness of the fact that straight imagery surrounds us all the time but we rarely see queer images outside of queer publications, events and venues.

After showing the project in Dublin I would hope to pass it on to be shown in other cities and make it available to community and to arts organisations.

If you have any work suitable for inclusion in this project I would love to hear from you. You can send me digital images to this email address: queervisual@yahoo.co.uk
or email me for a postal address if necessary.

Please forward this notice to anyone you think might be interested in participating, print it and put it on a noticeboard where relevant or pass my email address on. Please spread the word. And if there is anyone you think could or should be included email me with suggestions and I will do my best to find them.


I look forward to hearing from you
Eileen Leahy
