Queer Materials – Mardi Gras + Exhibition

Queer Materials presents a collection of diverse LGBTQIA+SB textile artists that narrate Queer stories through their practice. Textiles play an important role in shaping, expressing and performing Queer histories and storytelling. Clothing and objects present opportunities for self-expression. The making process itself can be an important communal and cultural practice – providing occasion for connection and exchange.

Foregrounding perspectives from a diversity of Queer backgrounds and communities, the Queer histories presented within this exhibition illustrate the multivalent, personal, yet so often strongly communal experience of Queerness. This exhibition is part of Mardi Gras + program.

Artists: Giacomo Budini, Matthew Grayson, Dr. Virginia Keft, Deborah Kelly, Kim Leutwyler, Samuel Luke, Abby Marie Murray, Sydney, Saara138
