The Queer Arts Festival is a multi-disciplinary arts festival produced annually in Vancouver, British Columbia.〔(Queer Arts Festival | Pride In Art )〕 The festival is produced by the Pride In Art Society (PiA). ''The mission of the Pride in Art Society, a not for profit organization, is to promote the production and exhibition of queer art. The Pride in Art Society creates opportunities for dialogue between queer artists from different disciplines, encourages visibility and appreciation of queer art and artists through the presentation of events, including the Queer Arts Festival. The QAF started as a small community art exhibit and has grown to include components from theatre, cabaret, erotica, dance, music, spoken word, and comedy. ''〔()〕 The Queer Arts Festival programs events in partnership with other Vancouver LGBT groups including Screaming Weenie Productions, the Vancouver Pride Festival and the Vancouver Queer Film Festival. Pride In Art (PiA) began in 1998 as a collective of LGBT visual artists mounting a community art exhibition. In its early years, PiA focused primarily on the visual arts, occasionally presenting performing arts as well within the exhibition space. In 2006, the festival expanded into other disciplines and art forms.〔(Queer Arts Festival | Pride In Art )〕 Presented as part of the Queer Arts Festival ==2011== Games People Play: Curated Visual Arts Exhibition To celebrate the North America Outgames in Vancouver this summer, the Queer Arts Festival has chosen Games People Play as its theme for 2011. Queer cultures often emphasize elements of game-play: from camp to butch/femme to strictures of "straight looking/straight acting", we play around with identity and its shadows of artifice, passing and trespassing. The curators are encouraging artists to queer the idea of games and play: board games, bored games, war games, mind games, drinking games, parlor games, gender games, games theory, game shows, word play, gun play, foreplay, BDSM play, playing the fool, playing by ear, playing along, playing around, playing for the team, playback, playmates, team sports, blood sport, water sports... With this exuberance of possibilities we will build a show of divergent investigations; a game for viewers to trace commonalities and conflicts along the through-line of gaming. ‘Maturity means to have rediscovered the seriousness one had as a child at play.’ -Friedrich Nietzsche 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Queer Arts Festival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
