ABOUT EXPOSURE 2008
Exposure festival is an emerging festival now entering its second year of presentation that uncovers, highlights and celebrates queer arts and culture. Based in Edmonton, Alberta, this annual festival presents challenging, smart, powerful work that captures queer life and culture, and provides entry points for Queer communities and their allies. As we are only in our second year we will partner with other organizations and presenters to present a diversity of disciplines, media and approaches to art; however, we are specifically looking for work that engages audiences about issues of social justice, trans-communities and trans-sexual politics, issues of diversity, class, sex and gender. For 2008, we are asking for submissions in all media and will present work that is strong, effective and that will resonate for audiences within the greater Edmonton region.
