Come See Me in the Good Light, the award-winning documentary, is a community-held celebration of Andrea Gibson — their poems, their courage, and the way their words have carried so many of us through the darkest and brightest seasons of our lives. This documentary gathers us in shared breath and witness, honoring Andrea’s legacy of queer tenderness, political truth-telling, and radical love. It’s more than a screening; it’s a collective offering, a moment to stand together in the good light they taught us to seek, make, and protect.

Curated by Alix Gerber, Designing Radical Futures has spent the last few years working with area artists, worker co-operatives, and mutual aid groups to imagine a future with completely different social systems and economies. Community workshops with partnering groups focused on how their missions and values might change the world around them. Drawings and stories from these workshops were the source material for the artwork on view, creating physical manifestations for a possible future
