In February 2025, Gallery Lane Cove + Creative Studios will celebrate the opening of two vibrant exhibitions, Queer Materials and soft tongues, gritted teeth.  Both exhibitions run from 12 February to 8 March 2025.  There is free entry to each exhibition.

Queer Materials

Queer Materials presents two emerging LGBTQIA+ textile artists that narrate Queer experiences through their practices.

Textiles are an important part of Queer storytelling, having the ability to embody histories both personal and communal.

Clothing and objects present opportunities for self-expression, while the making process itself can be an important communal and cultural practice – providing occasion for connection and exchange.

Artists: Giacomo Budini and SAARA138 ​

​​Part of Mardi Gras + Festival and Gallery Lane Cove Emerging Artists Program

 

 
“soft tongues, gritted teeth”

Featuring artists from across Australia, soft tongues, gritted teeth presents artworks as a chorus of queer voices, reverberating to blur the bounds between the individual and collective experience.
Navigating personal narratives and queer ecologies, the exhibition considers counter-heteronormative ways of being and connecting; collapsing harsh edges to offer playful encounters with queer intimacy and resistance.
Artists: Jack Ball, Holly Bates, Hannah Brontë, Chelsea Farquhar, Claudia Nicholson, Lucy Whitelaw

Curated by: Sarah Rose

This exhibition is part of the Gallery Lane Cove Guest Curator Program. Women NSW funds it.
