Queer|Art curates new edition of After Mentorship
Queer|Art, New York City's home for the creative and professional development of LGBTQ+ artists, presents a new edition of the After Mentorship series as part of the Food for Thought program at Danspace Project (131 E 10th St, New York, NY) with two evenings of performances by Neil Goldberg & David Antonio Cruz (May 23) and Angela Dufresne & Kerry Downey (May 24). Each evening is organized to highlight the unique relationships—creative, professional, personal, and otherwise—that have developed between these artists through their participation as Mentors and Fellows of the celebrated Queer|Art|Mentorship program.
Danspace Project's long-running Food for Thought series presents unique evenings of performance selected by guest curators. Admission each night is just $5 + 2 cans of food or $10, no reservation necessary. Canned goods are donated to the Momentum Project, which provides support to any person in need in NYC, especially those living with HIV/AIDS or other chronic illness.
After Mentorship is a new series of exhibitions, performances, screenings, readings, and talks showcasing work by different pairs of Mentors and Fellows who have worked together through their participation in Queer|Art|Mentorship. Through curated presentations of their work, Queer|Art revisits the relationships of Mentors and their Fellows years later and considers the lasting impact of the Mentorship program on their lives and creative practices.
