Queen Street Magic Boat stimulates radical possibility both in content and in form.

Queen Boat is a living gallery, residency + gathering space, fern garden, theatre, stained-glass studio, and SCUBA diving school. A hub for creative people of all ages who have an embodied experience of institutional oppression, Queen Boat supports a mycorrhizal network of communities that intersect in various movements, identities, visions, water bodies, and media forms create new worlds in real time.

Because, when we hear you talk, we want to listen. When we see you move, we want to move. Because you reflect. Because your power rises from a juxtaposition of carving, allowing, pummeling and easing. Because if you can’t break through, you evaporate and fall on the other side, pooling into a new body. Because your work sings to rarity. Because you know how to get outta here, and rise at the same time. Because you’re darkness and prismatic. Because in a flood, you make your own path. You're also cool staying where you are. You can be invisible, you can be seen, you can run underground. Nobody can bless you, because you're already blessed.
