Join us at The Fillmore School Studios for the reception of Queer Altars, created by artist Stephanie Mercedes. Supported by a Community Grant from the Mayor's Office of LGBTQ Affairs, this project transformed decommissioned weapons into meaningful altars dedicated to addressing the impact of gun violence on DC’s LGBTQIA+ community. The unveiling will feature two altars created by melting down decommissioned bullets and firearms, transforming violence into art, and fostering spaces of remembrance and healing.

Thank you to the S&R Evermay Foundation for hosting the Queer Altars unveiling exhibition.
