Featuring artworks by eight UK artists, video interviews with eight international artists and an Instagram campaign, this exhibition explores the multiplicity of queerness through metalwork and metalsmithing. Viewed together in this context, the artworks can be seen as an act of resistance.

About

A Craftspace exhibition co-curated by Dauvit Alexander and Deirdre Figueiredo in collaboration with Rebekah Frank.

The artworks are a means to empower, affirm and express solidarity between LGBTQIA+ creatives, making visible the ways they are shaping, disrupting and contributing to contemporary culture. Rather than provide answers or fixed ideas, the exhibition seeks to open up possibilities and make connections within a diverse, intersectional, complex and fluid community of making.
