Artist's statement:
This piece was created for the Anchorage Pride Festival, honoring the theme The Pulse of Pride: A Decade United, as a reflection of remembrance and strength within LGBTQIA+ communities.
The disco ball at the center serves as an ode to q***r nightlife and the sanctuary these spaces have provided for generations. In honoring the legacy of Pulse Nightclub, it represents a space of belonging, resilience, and memory. A range of hands reaches upward in support, each intentionally styled to highlight individuality and self-expression while forming a unified structure that lifts and protects a shared source of light. The colors reflected from the disco ball draw from the Progress Pride flag and are fluidly integrated to represent inclusion across identities and experiences.
Overall, this poster focuses on collective care and the ways communities come together to support one another, remember, and continue creating spaces where connection and community can thrive.
