Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project - QWOCMAP

YOU are amazing!!!

OMG! Thank you!

QWOCMAP's entire Board spent the last minutes of Give Out Day in the group chat. 

It was the kind of atmosphere that could be a dramatic film, or a comedy, or a sports film.

Every few minutes we shifted from 3rd to 4th place and back again. There might have been memes. There might have been a shaky-voice countdown of the last 10 seconds. There might have been disbelief. Maybe confused tears - of joy or disappointment.

Thanks to YOU, Give Out Day Today was a rousing success!!!

Thanks to YOU, QWOCMAP came in 3rd place and won an additional $2,500 grant from the Horizons Foundation. 

Yet it seems that YOU, being the wonderful and generous person you are, decided to create your own additional prize for QWOCMAP:

• You joined together to raise $30,335!!!

That's $5,335 over our initial goal. 

And more donations are still coming in and being counted!

You are definitely the kind of person who knows arts & culture are important:

•  to declare our humanity, especially in the face of oppression
•  as a source of resistance, resilience, and renewal in a world bent on reshaping us and remaking who we are, or removing us altogether. 
• to give courage to act, which instills hope. 
• to define, inform, and document our very movements for change.
•  as crucial to our creative strategies for collective survival, making our artists and cultural workers second responders in any crisis. 
  
•  to expand into collective care for our communities when others contract and shrink.

You know that with film, QWOCMAP reframes worldviews, adaptive capacities, and ways of being and relating to each other.

You've burst forth into the atmosphere with spores of joy & justice that will carry far around the world and through time.

See you in the mycelial network of community and care!

With QWOCMAP, you can be forever rooted in love, light, laughter, and liberation.
