Queer to Tell Presents "Captured in Color"

Nick Eibler - Creator/Producer

Dustin Barlow - Photographer

André Jordan - Host

Queer To Tell is a NYC-born national storytelling series. A traditional show features 5-6 LGBTQIA+ storytellers sharing stories inspired by a theme that allows them to share the universal experiences of our community and the nuances of their different identities. The show is hosted by a local drag/queer performance artist and takes place at Queer-owned/affirming spaces across the city and country. With "Captured in Color", producer Nick Eibler and photographer Dustin Dale Barlow, are elevating a traditional Queer To Tell show with an added photo series – displayed onstage during the show – based on the six initial colors of the Pride Flag and their meanings (Red - Life, Orange - Healing, Yellow - Sunlight, Green - Nature, Blue - Harmony, Purple - Spirit). Each storyteller will share a moment inspired by one of the different color meanings and reveal a portrait of themselves that reflects what that word means to them. In addition, audience members will have the option to contribute to the structure by writing on post-it notes – corresponding with the respective colors – a memory, person, or word that comes to mind when they think of that color and its meaning, helping to create a community art piece.
