Of queer bodies\, queer lives\, and queer autonomy. Of breaking the binar ies and changing the narratives we’ve been handed about where we can liv e\, whom we can love\, and who we can be. Queerness has never been confine d to city limits\, and this night proves it. \nAnd this is where the futur e gets made.

By weaving together star quilts\, geometric ab straction\, and materials that carry cultural memory\, she creates a visua l language that honors ancestral knowledge while pushing contemporary art forward. Her work asks essential questions: Whose traditions count as “A merican”? How do artists maintain cultural continuity while innovating f earlessly? What happens when we finally tell the full story of American cr eativity? \nThis conversation\, moderated by scholar and curator Leah Trip lett\, brings together themes of tradition\, continuity\, and innovation i n Indigenous art—illuminating how Native artists have shaped American vi sual culture for centuries\, often without credit or recognition. \nIn col laboration with the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Artists on Art lecture series\, this event celebrates how contemporary artists expand our underst anding of American art history by insisting we look deeper\, question assu mptions\, and make space for voices that have always been here. \nThis pro gram is offered in a hybrid format—attend in person at PAFA or watch the live stream on YouTube. A link to the livestream will be emailed to all r egistrants by 11:30 AM on the day of the event. A recording of the program will be shared with registrants following the event.

Using tulle as a r ecurring visual motif\, the project creates a vibrant\, community-rooted c elebration of visibility and resilience. \nThe Angel Hour is Lancaster’s second-longest-running drag show\, celebrating five years of glamour and sisterhood\, created by Charlize Angelz. \nThis is a night of celebration. Of queer bodies\, queer lives\, and queer autonomy. Of breaking the binar ies and changing the narratives we’ve been handed about where we can liv e\, whom we can love\, and who we can be. Queerness has never been confine d to city limits\, and this night proves it. \nAnd this is where the futur e gets made. Not at the center\, but at the fringes. \nAmish Country Queer : A Night of Film\, Art & Drag is presented by Little Echo Productions and co-presented by cinéSPEAK.
