Come get your photo taken by Casey Orr! Casey is traveling from England to North Central Washington to document q***r lives and resilience in collaboration with Laura Gunnip () and Methow Pride (). She will host a pop-up in Omak on June 5th from 3-6 PM outside of the Omak Library (). Casey works one-on-one with folks to decide how they want to be photographed. This can include anonymous options and small groups. 

Casey will bring a portable photo studio, costumes, art supplies, and masks for anonymity. You will come, dressed as you feel most in your body (or ready to play dress up). You can bring objects or friends to pose with!

You will receive a digital copy of your image! These events are free!
