Meet Corine, Space for Change Recipient

Corine Olarte is a pioneering photographer and 2024 Space for Change recipient. We caught up with Corine to see how Space for Change and Peerspace helped bring their ongoing photoseries, Queer Between the Lines, to life. 

As described by Corine, this series explores “the subtleties and complexities of queer identity—both loud and quiet, both joyful and angry, but always present and undeniably real.” Corine explains that the series has evolved as time has gone on “and may continue to evolve—just as queer identity is an ever-evolving journey.”

“Thanks to the opportunity to experiment through Peerspace’s Space for Change program, capturing parts of this series … has helped shape its direction, allowing it to continuously adapt and shift as it documents moments of self-discovery.”

Upon receiving Peerspace credit through the Space for Change program, Corine booked this large warehouse studio with a variety of backdrops – including a retro 70s set, a bohemian bedroom, and a luxe red curtain. These sets offered Corine endless opportunity for different angles, poses, and framing.
