[Eligibility] The Curve Photo Contest proudly centers and uplifts people who identify as lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer women and nonbinary people. Please share how you self-identify, using language that feels most accurate to you. Feel free to include all intersections of your identity. (Examples: lesbian, trans person of color, Latinx queer woman, radical faery, butch, etc.)
This is what a Sapphic Lesbian looks like.
[Artist Statement] Tell us more about your photo by sharing a brief artist statement OR answering this prompt: "This is what being ______ means to me..." (Max. 100 words)
Through exploring my Lesbian identity, I perform works that reference queer history, community, resistance, and the intimate nature of textile with the queer body. My work seeks to create a recognizable and unapologetic visual language while re-exploring history.
[Visual Description] Describe your photo so we can provide alt-text. Example: "Two women holding hands and smiling as they walk in a pride parade, surrounded by rainbow flags."
35mm Black and White Film photograph, female subject in suit jacket and jeans infront of white wall, projection onto chest of text reading "Lavender Menace", release cable connecting subject to camera
