Mission

Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project—QWOCMAP shapes narrative power by transforming film - the world’s most expensive art form - into a tool for liberation. We fund, create, exhibit, and distribute high-impact films to shatter stereotypes and bias, reveal the lived truth of inequality, and illuminate the creative brilliance of LBTQIA+ people of color. We actively invest in, develop, and nurture the creativity and leadership of African Descent/Black, Asian, Chicanx/Latinx, First Nations/ Native American/American Indian/Indigenous, Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander, Southwest Asian, North African/Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, South Asian (SWANA/AMEMSA), and multi-ethnic lesbian, bisexual, and queer women, and nonbinary, gender nonconforming, and transgender people of color, and intersex, and Two Spirit people of color. We prioritize the vulnerable members of our LBTQIA+ people of color community such as low-income, disabled, Youth, im/migrants, LBTQIA+ Muslims of color, LBTQIA+ women of color survivors of violence, and formerly institutionalized/incarcerated LBTQIA+ people of color.
