Coordinated by the Santa Barbara Public Library in collaboration with SB Pride & Joy, this inclusive group exhibition features five Slingshot artists who identify as LGBTQ+ or BIPOC. The exhibition and corresponding weekend festival celebrate community, amplify voices, and seek to change narratives for queer and trans people of colour. ​​​​​​​
