What defines a house and how, amidst a fractured world, does it blossom into a home? For many of us navigating the landscape of queerness, a home becomes a safe haven when one is enveloped by understanding. Where personal journeys find strength in solidarity, reinforcing the confidence that was often denied to our preceding generations. With support and acceptance received through friendship, our desired present is moulded. This exhibition explores the human need for a place of acceptance, equally sought by us and our allies, a space where neglected feelings can find shelter. The artists in this exhibition reflect on the simple, yet powerful need for comfort and belonging, even if that comfort is imperfect. The warmth found in shared spaces has inspired the creation of this exhibition, where identifiable stories and expressions find contentment and celebrate the complexities of our queer life.
In this gentle exploration of what it means to feel truly proud, you will find works that resonate with a spectrum of aesthetic and thematic consideration of what it means to be seen, to be heard, to belong and to build a home together. It’s an attempt to share the tender support I've found in my own friendships. Friendship, in its embrace, cradles us and allows us to shine as our truest selves. This show aims to highlight those special connections— those dear friendships—that enrich our human experience.
