An evening dedicated to showcasing the work of emerging and established queer BIPOC artists.
12 Gates Arts is pleased to present Queer Short Films and Stories, an evening dedicated to showcasing the work of emerging and established queer BIPOC artists that were selected through 12G’s recent open call.
Through film and written word, the featured works explore identity, memory, intimacy, and resistance offering nuanced reflections on the queer experience across a range of cultural and personal contexts.
This year’s featured artists are:
Sharon George for her short story: None Too Interesting
Nikita Shah / Lawhore Vagistan for their short film: Sari not Sorry
Nae Vallejo for their short story: The Staying Kind
Sushma Khadepaun: Places I’ve Called My Own
Lunise Cerin: Close Up
Each artist brings a distinct voice and vision to the program, collectively creating a space for dialogue, visibility, and imagination.
The event is free and open to the public. We invite you to join us in celebrating these powerful contributions to queer storytelling.
