Beyond Recognition and Queer Coding
Curated by Whiskey Chow
As part of FESTUS 2023 (MA Sculpture, Royal College of Art)
15 – 18 February 2023
How can a new generation of queer artists create space for themselves and their community through materiality and image construction that goes beyond vanity, hypersexuality and exaggerated gender performativity?
Living in different timelines of LGBTQ+ movements and constantly negotiating with complex power dynamics from an intersectional and cross-cultural perspective, queer artists today are seemingly inventing new art vocabulary and approaches to address their desire, and concerns.
Fabricating and manifesting
Problematizing and indicating
Transgressing and redefining
With no guaranteed destinations, 14 Artists from RCA Sculpture are going to show you something instead of telling you something.
It’s stormy and it’s souly.
It’s SOFT and it’s HARD.
