ABOUT QWOCMAP
Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project (QWOCMAP) creates, exhibits and distributes new films that authentically reflect the lives of queer women of color, gender nonconforming and transgender people of color, and address the vital social justice issues that concern our multiple communities. QWOCMAP has nurtured the creation of over 400 new personally poignant, socially relevant and politically insightful films, single-handedly increasing the number of films by and about LGBTQ people of color.

QWOCMAP invests in, develop and nurture the creativity of emerging media artists who are African Descent/Black; Asian Pacific Islander; Chican@/Latin@; Native American/Indigenous; Southwest Asian, North African/Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, South Asian (SWANA/AMEMSA); and Mixed-Race. We especially focus on queer women of color, gender nonconforming and transgender people of color as we are severely underrepresented in the film community.

In 2012, QWOCMAP launched its Film & Freedom Academy to bring our award-winning Filmmaker Training Program to LGBTQ people of color communities across the country. QWOCMAP is excited to partner with San Francisco Women Against Rape (SFWAR) and customize a free filmmaking workshop for LBTQ women of color.
