Problems Faced by International Queer Artists
Difficult to Get Funds
Investors often doubt student artists' experience, while students lack awareness of grants and special project funds.
Restricted by Legal Status
International students face visa challenges, increasing their need for recognition through art festivals and wider platforms.
Limited Exposure Beyond School
Worthy art pieces remain confined to classrooms instead of reaching festivals or exhibitions beyond academic settings.
