About

SoMad is an independent art space, residency program, and archive based in New York City. Grounded in a femme and queer ethos, we are cross-disciplinary by design, supporting experimentation across visual art, performance and new media. We are SO MAD about many things—namely the patriarchy and queerphobia—but we are committed to challenging the ways the establishment art world fails emerging artists, especially when it comes to systemically oppressed communities. We experiment. We fail. We listen. We don’t separate art and culture. SoMad does things differently.
