/// About ///


Unbound Bodies is an art, performance, and community building event. We will honor and celebrate Queer & Trans Black/Indigenous/People of Color (QTBIPOC) desire: desire for ourselves, our homes, our bodies, our pasts, and our futures. Artists will unravel and discard the ways that our desires are policed, even with ourselves, and illuminate the process on healing our interaction with these desires.


This intervention is an urgent response to the violent whiteness of Boston’s experimental art scene, and a journey towards building QTBIPOC community. We are excited to explore this unchartered territory by shaping this new space together.
