QUEER (RE)PUBLIC FESTIVAL 2025
This inaugural four-day festival (running June 26th-29th, 2025) will showcase queer creators of color in dance, theatre, and collaborative artmaking.
Queer (Re)public, launched in Spring 2020, is TTO’s program that honors, uplifts, and builds on emergent themes inherent to and in QTBIPOC art through workshops, residency, programs, and commissioning art by, for, and including queer and trans artists of color. This work takes inspiration from the artist and activist Adrienne Maree Brown's theory of Emergent Strategy.
📅 June 26–29, 2025
📍 Presented by The Theater Offensive at Arrow Street Arts
Join us for four days of bold performances, dialogue, and celebration centering queer and trans voices of color. From dance and theater to music and panel discussions, the Queer (Re)Public Festival reimagines what artistic liberation and representation can look like.
