The Edge Collective cultivates immersive third spaces to celebrate Black and Brown queer art as a vital practice of both collective healing and community building. In highlighting the nuances of our lived experience, we frame queer life through abundance, richness and diversity. We view art-making and art-ingestion as forms of restorative care and we hope to build spaces that foster belonging and offer a refuge. Rooted in intentional commitment to BIPOC queer representation, we highlight Chicago artists, bring accessible art into the community and circulate resources back into our community.
