We're so excited to invite you to our next show: A Queer Lens
📸 What Is A Queer Lens?
A Queer Lens is an instant film photography exhibit centering LGBTQIA+ artists, performers, and storytellers. Hosted at 540 Bar in San Francisco, this show brings together bold, tender, rebellious, and radiant images captured on all analog photography formats: Polaroid, Instax, Mixed Media and other analog formats.
This isn’t just a photo show—it’s a gathering. A celebration. A protest. A love letter to queer life in all its forms.
Through snapshots of intimacy, protest, self-expression, and everyday joy, we’re honoring the beauty and complexity of our community—especially in a time when queer visibility is both powerful and under attack.
There’s no strict dress code—just show up as your most expressive, unapologetic self. Whether that means leather, lace, denim, sequins, vintage, or something you stitched together last night in a moment of brilliance… we’re here for it.
✨ Think: art gallery meets queer nightlife
🌈 Gender expression? Free-range.
💅 Accessories? Encouraged.
📸 Photos will be taken AND Photobooth will be ready. Make a statement. Or don’t. Just be you.
