ART OF PRIDE:

UNDERSTANDING GENDER IDENTITIES

This is a celebration of diversity and inclusivity, highlighting the unique perspectives and experiences of LGBTQ+artists in Flagstaff. The artwork reflects the complex and ever-evolving landscape of queer culture and identity.

"Growing up gay in the 1960s and '70s presented immense challenges, particularly in navigating an understanding and expression of self within a largely unaccepting society. Even after decades of progress and hard-fought battles for equality, today's political climate is creating renewed difficulties and anxieties for the LGBTQ+ community as we strive for acceptance and the freedom to be our authentic selves.” —Jamey Hasapis
