We're celebrating the release of Rachelle Lee Smith's photographic essay book Speaking OUT: Queer Youth in Focus! Festivities will include performances from the Attic Youth Center, a photographic art gallery, book signing, and MORE! The book will be for sale at the event.
Speaking OUT: Queer Youth in Focus is a photographic essay that collectively explores a wide spectrum of experiences told from the perspective of a diverse group of youth ages 14 to 24 identifying as queer (i.e., lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning). Portraits are presented without judgment and/or stereotype by eliminating environmental influence with a stark white backdrop. This backdrop acts as a blank canvas to be filled with the each subject’s point of view handwritten onto the final print. With more than 65 portraits photographed over a period of ten years beginning 2001, Speaking OUT provides a rare insight into the ever evolving passions, confusions, prejudices, fulfillment, joys, and sorrows voiced by queer youth.
"I believe there is power in words, strength in numbers, and freedom in art."
