Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project (QWOCMAP) creates, exhibits and distributes new films that authentically reflect the lives of queer women of color and connect multiple communities to the vital social justice issues that concern us all. QWOCMAP works to increase the visibility and power of our communities of through arts participation and civic engagement to diversify the cultural fabric of society, and create systemic change and social justice through art, activism, and community building.

We actively invest in, develop and nurture the creativity of emerging media artists who are Asian/Pacific Islander, Black/African American/African Descent, Chican@/Latin@, Native American/Indigenous/First Nations, South Asian, South West Asian/North African/Middle Eastern and Mixed-Race lesbians, bisexual, transgender, two-spirit, queer and questioning women in the Bay Area. We include in our community trans and genderqueer people of color. We welcome our allies to participate in our Queer Women of Color Film Festival.

QWOCMAP provides professional training, equipment, screening opportunities and resources free of charge to guarantee full access to our traditionally underserved community, particularly low-income and immigrant queer women of color.
