Movies are often the first time people meet trans individuals, and that's powerful. Trans people, though a small part of the population, are frequently discussed, often by non-trans voices. Seeing their stories can be truly transformative, fostering empathy and revealing our shared humanity. #TransVisibility #LGBTQRepresentation #TransStories #Empathy #Humanity

Pittsburgh artist + educator Ben Schonberger on how we see art, pride, and visibility.

QBurgh August 3, 2025 8:19 pm

Step into the visionary world of Pittsburgh-based artist and educator Ben Schonberger (he/him) in this QBurgh Artist Spotlight. Known for his emotionally charged and unapologetically queer lens-based art, Schonberger explores identity, visibility, and the power of mentorship with fearless honesty and playful subversion. In this intimate feature, Ben shares how queerness shapes not just his subject matter, but the very way he sees, teaches, and creates. From cultivating radical belonging at Point Park University to queering the gallery space with his show Hi-NRG, Schonberger challenges us to rethink how we experience art—and each other. “If you can cultivate a way for [non-queer things] to become queer,” he says, “they become devices that question what queerness is.” Watch now to witness how Ben Schonberger queers the visual narrative and inspires the next generation of bold creators. #QueerArt #BenSchonberger #PittsburghArtists #QBurghSpotlight #LGBTQCreatives #MentorshipMatters #QueerVisibility #ArtAsResistance #HiNRG #Gallery707
