Queer Platonic

Queer Platonic is a traveling photo and video exhibition series exploring the beauty and importance of queer friendships. For the project, Sophia Emmerich and Lisa Kempke photographed queer friends and interviewd them about their realtionships, about what makes queer friendships special and what not queer people should know about queer friends.

QUEER PLATONIC was exhibited in several cities around the world in 2022. In addition to the premiere in Berlin at P7 Gallery, the project was presented in a collective exhibition in New York City at East Village Art Collection. Furthermore, Queer Platonic was shown in cooperation with the British queer-focused platform WE CREATE SPACE in London. Most recently, the photo series was shown in Hannover at Kulturzentrum Faust - during which a talk on queer friendships took place, moderated by performance artist and coach Ilka Theurich.
