About
‘The Queer Dot: Our Space, Our Experience’ is an exhibition exploring what it means to be a queer artist living and working within Dundee, Scotland. Created by local arts collective ‘The Queer Dot’ (from the phrase “the year dot”), this show intends to amplify queer voices across the spectrum. LGBTQIA+ people have been here since the dawn of time, but for much of human history they have been discriminated against and erased from the historical narrative. ‘The Queer Dot’ is an attempt to combat that account, by re-inserting queer voices into the traditional art space.
The exhibitions opening night event on September 6th (6 – 9pm) will feature live poetry readings as well as the launch of ‘The Queer Dot’ zine, which includes submissions from queer artists across Scotland.
Showcasing the works of eleven artists across various mediums including painting, printmaking, animation, video-art and photography, ‘The Queer Dot: Our Space, Our Experience’ wishes to provide a place where people can feel safe and welcome – according to the ethos of the collective.
