Queer Food for Love

Thank you to DirtStar, thank you to all of you who came Sunday to support q***r artists, and thank you to all of you who participated in Q***r Food For Love. Merry Solstice, homos.

For the closing spectacle of DIRTSTAR at the National Q***r Arts Festival, Q***R FOOD FOR LOVE designed a molecular gaystronomy laboratory, to explore nature from an unnatural point of view. Using hydrocolloids and the mysteries of SCIENCE, homos constructed DIY amuses bouches: cubes of rose gel, suspended bubbles of basil foam, fresh strawberry caviar spheres, and brittle bites of tarragon and garden flower glass. Summer, deconstructed, and reconstructed, in a variety of new sights and textures. Just like homosexuality, "it ain't natural," but it sure is yummy, and you won't know it until you try it. Viva summer, viva DirtStar, and viva sexperimentation.

Have you ever eaten a cube of roses? Or eaten a caviar of strawberries? Find out what nature is by example of its opposite, THIS SUNDAY, 5-7 PM, as Q***r Food demystifies molecular gaystronomy for DirtStar at The Tenderloin National Forest, 519 Ellis St @ Leavenworth. Food, art, performances, and science, for homosexuals!!! Come get your nerdy dirty q***r self to the TL Sunday 5-7!!!

We are looking for volunteers! Come and get food science-y with us next week. Email: q***[email protected]. Let us know if you have lab coats + beakers + bunsen burners + lab goggles + data visualization skills.

"Most Americans don't make pop tarts from scratch, and they certainly don't choose to eat food made by homos if they can help it. But here at Q***R FOOD, we do all sorts of things in the name of art." This and more wisdom at the link below.

Q***r Food For Love: POP ART Pop Tarts! Part participatory pop-up restaurant, part community dinner, part eat-in, part art performance, part non-profit - Q***r Food For Love is an ecologically-minded community project bringing farm-to-table issues to the q***r community, and bringing q***r and feminist issues to the kitchen, in the Bay Ar

Q***r Food For Love bakes fresh Pop Art Pop Tarts for the Q***r Arts Festival. We made the dough, we made the jam, we made them sparkle in your mouth with real candy pop rocks. Now eat 'em and weep.

Q***r Food For Love pays tribute to the spirit of resistance to censorship in the q***r arts. "Ants on a Cross" is our whimsical send-up of the American classic children's snack, "ants on a log," for David Wojnarowicz, a gay artist whose 1987 work about AIDS, "A Fire in My Belly," was censored by the Smithsonian in 2010. Buckling under pressure from the religious right, the Smithsonian cut footage of ants crawling on a crucifix from his film (which was meant as a metaphor for the suffering of people with AIDS in the 1980's), afraid that it would reignite the culture wars about government funding for the arts in America. To welcome q***r art historian Jonathan Katz, we served "Ants on a Cross," in masks depicting David Wojnarowicz's face, whose lips are sewn together, as a visual metaphor for the 1980's ACT-UP slogan, "Silence=Death."

Q***R FOOD FOR LOVE kicks off Q***r Arts Month with the RADAR reading series and the Q***r Cultural Center, welcoming curator and art historian Jonathan Katz to San Francisco to discuss artistic representations of sexual difference and desire, and political and religious censorship, at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. Art by homos, words by J Katz, snacks by Q***R FOOD FOR LOVE! We heart gay art.
