InResidency by The Bureau of Queer Art is a media venture for Contemporary Queer & Allied Creatives to explore representation, identity, and themes of outsiderness in a culture of 'mall-ification'. “Queer' not as being about who you're having sex with (that can be a dimension of it); but 'queer' as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live.” -Bell Hooks Apply to participate at BureauQueerArt.com

In this episode, we reflect on The Bureau of Queer Art’s first-ever Open Studio event—a gathering of current residents, alumni, exhibiting artists, and new voices. Hosted by Micheal Swank, the conversation centers on what it means to share space, exchange stories, and build a creative future across geographies. Hear reflections on the evening, updates on upcoming opportunities like IMMORTAL: Queer Art Fair and 50 Postcards – Pride NOT Permission, and a call to shape what this community looks like moving forward. Whether you're a longtime collaborator or just finding your way in, this one’s for you.
