Sanctuary // Exile is a photography and writing based installation that explores historical and modern strategies of queer safety-seeking. It maps the artist's personal immigration story, from the United States to Germany, onto a larger sociological narrative of queer community building, exploring the porous nature of borders and honoring the solidarity that exists between queer cross-cultural communities.
