About RUINS

RUINS: PERFORMING QUEER HISTORY is an exhibition of six interdisciplinary artists with diverse backgrounds reckoning with queer histories, pasts, archives, legacies, and loss within their own contemporary studio practices. The artists in RUINS unearth LGBTQ+ histories, search for its fragmentary pieces, and reimagine our queer constellations. To perform queer history, to grapple with our collective pasts, allows us to look toward our queer futures
