Out Of Many, One People — a solo show by Brianna Roye, opening May 3rd
The MOEG invites you to join us for "Out of Many, One People", a solo photography exhibit by Brianna Roye. An accomplished portrait & event photographer, Roye seeks to push forward the representation of Caribbean people within the LGBTQ+ community in her work.
Queerness is too often centered around the gay white male experience -- with "Out Of Many, One People", Roye has captured a series of photos that people who are of Caribbean descent can relate to—and perhaps see themselves in. We invite you to join us for this examination (and celebration) of what it means to be queer & Caribbean.
