Snowflake Pride - Queering Happiness

Queer n Care, in collaboration with AIESEC India, invites queer (and ally) artists to submit their visual art work for consideration in our upcoming thematic launch of Winter 2021 Issue, “Snowflake Pride: Queering Happiness”. The guest curators for this issue are the visual artists Pallav Chander and Anoushka Gogoi. The deadline for submission of visual art work is 15th August 2021. 

As winter arrives, we gently acknowledge the hardships that the queer community has faced, especially young creatives, with endless restrictions and lockdowns. In this context, we concentrate on the common objection raised to our identity, as queer young persons,  of being “snowflakes”. Winter at QnC is a winter of celebrating snowflakes. We welcome you to reappropriate the world of snowflakes proudly through your artwork. Think about: “As snowflake queers, what is happiness? What are the brightest stars and darkest galaxies that make up your happiness? What memories populate your snowflake mind?”- We want it all. We want it now. It is time for reclamation!

Winter 2021 Issue on “Snowflake Pride: Queering Happiness” will feature 12 visual art works across QnC’s website and socials. The launch event will be organised in early-October with AIESEC India, as part of the AIESEC SDG Weekender.
