We’re incredibly excited to announce that Charis Books and More will be partnering with us for the opening night of Q***r Games!

During Friday’s exhibition, Charis will be hosting a special pop-up bookstore featuring a curated selection of q***r and feminist literature available for purchase throughout the night.

For those unfamiliar, Charis is one of the oldest feminist bookstores in the United States and has been a cornerstone of Atlanta’s q***r community for decades. Beyond being a bookstore, Charis has long served as a vital community space for conversation, activism, education, and connection. Their support for q***r writers, artists, organizers, and readers has helped shape Atlanta’s cultural landscape in immeasurable ways.
We’re honored to collaborate with a space that has done so much to uplift q***r voices and build community here in Atlanta.

Announcing our latest curated exhibition: Q***r Games! (part 2)

For one weekend, The Supermarket becomes a hub for q***r expression in games. This exhibition highlights the intersection of video games, art, and q***r culture.

The show brings together works by q***r developers from around the world, each approaching games not just as entertainment, but as an artistic medium for ideas, emotion, memory, and celebration. We invite you to explore q***r life not as a singular narrative, but as a constellation of voices, textures, and interactive works.

Across the exhibition, you will move experience pieces that are tender and surreal, humorous and disorienting, deeply personal and abstract. These pieces challenge traditional notions of gaming, and help redefine what games can be.

Saturday and Sunday: (time TDB)
