    “I believe in cultural work that remains in relationship with its communities — where institutions are questioned, not protected, and where art, social justice, and health are understood as inseparable through queer ways of living and caring. For me, QUEERCIRCLE embodies this commitment… working with clear intention to foster meaningful, lasting change.”
