Queer Grief Ritual Gathering
led by Tatiana Bell (WE KEEP US SAFE) and Maya Wiseman
Join us for the QUEER GRIEF RITUAL GATHERING, led by current exhibiting artist Tatiana Bell (WE KEEP US SAFE) and Maya Wiseman. This immersive and evolving experience invites reflection, solidarity, and collective action. The event provides a safe space for members of the LGBTQIA+ community and serves as a reminder that our strength lies in the spaces we create for each other—through shared words, acts of care, and moments of resistance that unite us even in the face of adversity. It is a space for grieving, expressing anger, resisting, and finding rest.
We invite you to experience WE KEEP US SAFE and contribute to this growing archive of love, resilience, and justice. Together, we are greater than ourselves.
This is more than an art show—it is a living, breathing archive of community and resistance, where every space we create and every offering we make becomes part of the collective movement for justice. WE KEEP US SAFE reminds us that the fight for our future is intertwined with the care we provide for one another today. Step into this collective space of reflection, connection, and action as we honor our shared struggles and the love that sustains us.
*This will be an alcohol-free event.
RSVP to this free experience via the link HERE to secure your spot.

Bios
Tatiana Bell
Tatiana Bell (she/any) is an Atlanta-born-and-raised artist and interaction designer whose work is informed by their queer mixed-race identity, the spaces we occupy, and the land that sustains us. She explores playfulness where it is lacking with a keen focus on neglected spaces and people, building meaningful and mystical experiences that encourage a sense of patient exploration, teaching lessons of hope and wonder to those who engage. Through giving new life to saved materials, they create environments that feel safe and accessible to all, honoring the self in relation to the surrounding world.
