We’re excited to present another physical exhibition this year, at Projector X: Picturehouse!
“Rainbow Families: Dear Home” explores what home — and family — means to LGBTQ+ people in Singapore. Through video interviews, workshops, installations and even scents, we invite visitors to examine the many aspects of home and belonging.
The space is designed to have different rooms of a home — a kitchen, living room, and bedrooms. Each room holds a different set of activities for visitors to participate in, and we're working with Crys Knick Knacks to create custom scents to make each room even more immersive!
In our documentary, we interview parents of LGBTQ+ persons, queer individuals, and counselling service providers to understand the nuance, tenderness, and hope that surrounds parental acceptance of queer people in Singapore.
Our paper craft workshop invites visitors to envision their homes by building miniature dioramas. These dioramas will then be put on display, and over the days, a small queer village would grow from within our exhibition space.
Through interactive installations and letter writing activities, we invite visitors to start conversations about acceptance, love, and home.
IMDA has given this family-friendly exhibition an R18 rating.

This is the second year we’re doing this photoshoot — but with a little twist! This time, we’re using a long exposure technique to capture a rainbow effect that shifts and flows around the photo!
Come join us and have a family portrait taken with your rainbow family — whether it’s your birth or chosen family.
The photoshoot works on a pay-as-you-wish model (from $20 onwards), and all proceeds will help fund the cost of our exhibition.
All attendees will get digital copies of their photos, and groups that contribute at least $50 will get free printed photos for everyone in their group!
Check out the full details on our Eventbrite booking page.
