Edmonton – On top of being an eclectic, multimedia offering of artistic talent, the inaugural Exposure Queer Arts and Culture Festival is also a bit on the impulsive side.
The ambitious nine-day-long event, running Friday through Dec. 1, was conceived a scant six months ago.
This short turnaround is impressive considering the various groups and participants involved, as well as the logistical hurdles in offering a wide array of programming, from fiction slams and theatre to drag king shows, a masquerade ball and visual arts exhibits. The festival kicks off with the iconic 16-year-old Loud ‘N’ Queer Cabaret this Friday and Saturday.
