Mark Vieira | Sylvester, 1979
Our Mission
MR/QD is committed to promoting positive and meaningful images of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community through artistic and intellectual means.
Mighty Real/Queer Detroit is a not-for-profit organization that provides a platform for artistic exploration of various queer perspectives crossing generations and disciplines. The organization uses the contemplative spirit of the arts to foster understanding of the diversity of LGBTQ+ experiences, which have been historically suppressed and overlooked by traditional institutional systems. It will achieve this through programming that promotes educational, civic and cultural engagement.
