Her identity-focused portrait projects amplify the voices and visions of queer, BIPOC, disabled, and neurodivergent people through collaborative portrait creation.“At a cultural moment in which queer lives are both newly visible and increasingly contested,” explains the artist, “the images part of this solo show reflect personal histories and ways of knowing and living gender.”About Sophie SpinelleSophie Spinelle explores themes of glamour, queerness, and identity in deeply collaborative ways to reveal the longings, losses, and power of her subjects. She studied painting at Sarah Lawrence College before turning her focus to photography in 2009. Spinelle’s photographs have been exhibited in the United States and Europe, and published in The New York Times, People, and SFMoMA on the Go. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/portland/celebrate-true-to-form-queer-conceptual-portraits-by-sophie-spinelle/100001980572648106 - **Event Categories**: art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Portland - **state**: OR - **country**: United States - **location**: imperfecta gallery - **lat**: 45.526 - **long**: -122.679375 - **full address**: imperfecta gallery, 809 Northwest Flanders Street, Portland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Celebrate True To Form: Queer Conceptual Portraits by Sophie Spinelle - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/774f9f9a4cf129b8f710b95ca2acc21fffccf86cc2887867efe63a860b65c912-rimg-w1080-h1080-dc060505-gmir.jpg?v=1768727754 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Celebrate True To Form: Queer Conceptual Portraits by Sophie Spinelle being held? - **A:** Celebrate True To Form: Queer Conceptual Portraits by Sophie Spinelle takes place on Thu, 05 Feb, 2026 at 05:00 pm to Thu, 05 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm at imperfecta gallery, 809 Northwest Flanders Street, Portland, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Celebrate True To Form: Queer Conceptual Portraits by Sophie Spinelle? - **A:** Celebrate True To Form: Queer Conceptual Portraits by Sophie Spinelle is organized by imperfecta.. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
