With the desire to facilitate a critical conversation surrounding the topic of “queerness” inside a culture known for its discursive approaches on questions relating to genders and sexualities, the exhibition brings together a diverse group of artists who see queerness as a possibility, embracing the imaginative even when the status quo might otherwise be limiting. The title acknowledges that the means through which each artist expresses this notion takes a variety of modes in the photographic medium, at times boldly and directly celebrating the beauty of queer bodies and at other times obliquely gesturing, winking, or suggesting that another reality is at play.
