Borealis

2024 Artist Enrichment Grant | (Lexington) $9,000 to create a transdisciplinary, multi-modal project supporting access points for queer-ecstatic, consent-focused, and stigma-free sexual education through intimate pizza parties, risograph-printed info kits distributed via screen-printed pizza boxes, art installations, and humor. By asking “So, what’s the gayest pizza?” at pizza parties operating under the cover of fine art, guests are given a light-hearted welcome into a space where questions regarding our sexual health can be asked and answered—despite a hostile political climate which seeks to remove queer, feminist, and comprehensive sexual education from our schools.

2024 Art Meets Activism Grant | $4,900 to support Breadbox, a transdisciplinary, multi-modal project supporting access to safe abortion care through peer-to-peer education and collaborative artmaking. While creating risograph-printed zines, stenciled loaves of bread, installations, teach-ins, and video art, participants will build confidence in their collective power as menstruators, trans people, intersex people, and women.
