Starting from the 30th July, the word QUEER is written in large scale on the ground at Oranje-Vrijstaatkade in front of Framer Framed and will stay there until 8th September 2021 to stimulate conversation about queerness in the public realm.
The characters painted collectively together with artist collective United Painting and communities Framer Framed works with (Framer Framed team, Framer Framed volunteers, i-psy Arts, Girls Forward). By forming words with letters this big in a public space, the meaning of the words is emphasized and while painting the meaning of the word is discussed and reflected upon. The installation opened together with the colourful exhibition 'Proud Aliens' by Framer Framed’s Open Atelier and coincides with Pride Amsterdam 2021.
