The Bureau of Queer Art fosters inclusive and transformative spaces for queer and queer-allied contemporary artists. The Bureau of Queer Art, through its magazine and podcast, highlights the stories behind the artwork, studio practice, and the relationship of queer artists to the cis world they live in. Our commitment is to amplify diverse voices and narratives, challenging traditional power dynamics, societal norms, and artistic conventions.
Our curation explores themes of identity, power, and the body, prioritizing works that engage with cognitive dissonance, dissociation, and queer feminism. Each exhibition weaves a collective narrative reflecting the complexities of queer experiences.
We emphasize emerging talents and established practitioners, selecting artists who push the boundaries of contemporary art across various mediums. We aim to offer marginalized voices visibility and validation within the broader art community.
Designed to be immersive and thought-provoking, our exhibitions encourage deep engagement with the artworks. We meticulously plan spatial arrangements and aesthetics to enhance the impact and facilitate meaningful interactions.
Community engagement is central to our curatorial practice. Our online artist residency program brings together artists worldwide, meeting weekly to discuss materials, processes, concepts, professional development, criticism, and exhibitions. This global interaction fosters dialogue, builds connections, and inspires change.
Our vision is to build a dynamic and inclusive art ecosystem that celebrates queer and queer-allied artists while contributing to contemporary art discourse. We strive to create exhibitions that are visually compelling, intellectually stimulating, and emotionally resonant, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of queer art.
The Bureau of Queer Art is partnered with Secretaria de Cultura Mexico, Teatros de CDMX, as well as many Casa Culturas and private spaces. We have continued to produce shows throughout the pandemic, have a robust schedule of shows, and the many fantastic artists we continue to work with here in Mexico, the USA, Russia, China, South America, and more. The question is do you want to be a part of our Exhibitions & Community Incubator program?

It began out of a desire to connect with artists in the local community. Then, we discovered that we could be our community of practice connecting online and in Mexico for over five years. Check out our programming and apply to be a part of our queer and queer-allied community.
