{Queer} + {Metals} Exhibition Tour

Join co-curators, Director of Craftspace Deirdre Figueiredo and artist Dauvit Alexander, for an informal tour of the {Queer} + {Metals} exhibition. Featuring artworks by 7 UK artists, video interviews with 8 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. They 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.

Presented as part of SHOUT Festival 2022.
