Local photographer/videographer Joshua Foo will be offering FREE portraits for LGBTQIA+ community members from 12-7pm at The Union for Contemporary Art as part of PRIDE 2021!

“I just want to show the beauty and uniqueness of each individual, I want them to be seen…” - Joshua Foo

This event is free and no appointment is needed. Joshua Foo will share edited photos with all participants after the event.

**COVID safety protocol: We will limit the number of people in the building at a time. Joshua Foo and all Union staff present will be masked, and we request that masks be worn by attending portrait subjects (may removed for photo if preferred).

This "Open Call for Portraits" is an extension of The Union’s Pride 2021 celebration, culminating with the public art project “As You Are” - also created by Joshua Foo.

Our hope for this series is that it serves as a platform from which we might be able to expand the conversation about life at the intersection of being BIPOC and LGBTQIA+. That, through the arts, we are able to shine a light on the challenges and celebrations of our LGBTQIA+ community. We are also hoping to create opportunities for others to see themselves in this space, in the arts, in our community. Our goal, at its simplest, is to support LGBTQIA+ community members, with an emphasis on QTPOC, and amplify their vibrancy/beauty within our community.

All Union Pride 2021 programming has been made possible thanks to the support of the Omaha Community Foundation's Equality Fund.
