SVARA-nik Gallery
The SVARA-nik Gallery is a place to share and discover artistic expressions of queer Talmud.
Whether you create pottery, noise-music, poetry, leather, experimental art, or something in between, your work is welcome.
We’ll share a call for submissions x times a year. If you identify as an artist, we hope you’ll consider this call for submissions as a loving invitation to share your work.
