Queen Street Magic Boat
Trajectories: Liberated Pathways through Makeup, Photography, and Jewelry, is a multi-media exhibition project that envisions personal and structural trajectories without the shackles of oppression. What paths would we have taken without colonial restrictions? What would we have explored? What mistakes would we have learned from? How would we understand our stories and our concept of time? Trajectories will be on view at Queen Street Magic Boat, a surrealist hub for building and sustaining visionary community connections through water, the arts, and wild imagination.
Join for a series of free events throughout the exhibition, including a reception, a Duke Arts Create workshop, and more.
