Courage in Colour – Arts & Voice is a queer art exhibition and drag show at NEO art & culture lab x VogelART in Nice, produced in collaboration with the LGBTQIA+ Centre Côte d'Azur, Prism'Art and Vogel ART .
The exhibition is dedicated to the theme of LGBTphobia , not as an abstract concept, but as a real form of social violence that scars, restricts, and threatens lives. Courage in Color is also intended as an act of resistance: loud, visible, and united.
The works presented oscillate between visual arts, performance, and voice. They speak of vulnerability and anger, self-affirmation, identity, and queer joy. Color then becomes the expression of
courage—the courage to show oneself, the courage to love, the courage to oppose exclusion.
The exhibition is accompanied by a drag show, where art becomes voice and performance a political gesture. Drag is not just entertainment, but an expression of freedom, self-determination, and collective strength.
Courage in Colour – Arts & Voices creates a space for encounter, exchange and visibility. A space where queer perspectives are not explained, but celebrated – and where art is a tool against hate and for solidarity.
