Queer - NGV

Just back from Melbourne and a trip to the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) and their current exhibition QUEER: Stories from the NGV on from 10 MAR 22 to 21 AUG 22

The exhibition explores the NGV Collection from a queer perspective, presenting and interpreting queer concepts and stories. Many works in the exhibition are by artists who identify as queer; some are by artists who lived in times when such identification was not possible; and some works are not by queer artists but have a connection to queer histories. The exhibition highlights that queerness is intersectional, and that LGBTQ+ rights are interwoven with other political and equality movements. Beyond exploring new layers of interpretation and reinvestigating conventional narratives, this exhibition also considers absences in the NGV Collection itself, by excavating queer history where it has been omitted or eclipsed, through oversight or intent.

Here’s some of my pics of some of the over 400 pieces on exhibition - definitely worth a visit if you get a chance
