Layers of Identity
A Grassroots Art Project
by Concepts LLC
Layers of Identity is a collaborative public art project that unites queer individuals to explore the diverse facets of identity through creative installations. This project invites participants to collaborate on art pieces that reflect their unique experiences. These installations, displayed in public spaces, serve as a visual representation of the complex layers within the queer community. By fostering dialogue and understanding, Layers of Identity not only celebrates the richness of queer identity but also promotes inclusivity and belonging among people of all backgrounds. Through art, this project creates a platform for individual and shared expression.
Concepts LLC is motivated by the dual potential of art and design to preserve and disrupt existing power structures. Through tangible design projects, we explore the delicate equilibrium between upholding and challenging established hierarchies. In a world where power often goes unquestioned, we see art and design as potent tools for reflection and transformation, shedding light on hidden inequalities. We aim to empower marginalized voices, provoke thought, and inspire change while recognizing the ethical responsibilities embedded in creative choices.
The art practice's mission revolves around empowering marginalized communities to express themselves through active participation in our projects. Art is a catalyst for change and a platform for unheard voices. We foster collaboration and inclusive spaces where individuals from marginalized backgrounds contribute their unique perspectives. Through these efforts, we aim to celebrate historically marginalized voices, promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, and belonging within the arts and society.
