Moving beyond acceptance to embrace our most untamed desires, this show gathers artists who dare to yearn for something better. They explore a spectrum of bonds beyond friendships, romance and sexuality, underscored by a thirst to connect — with communities, places and cultures. These works acknowledge all relations depart from one’s own relationship to the self, our bodies; and that we are inextricably entangled with material culture and reality. The exhibition endeavours to challenge blueprints of relationships rooted in heteronormative, patriarchal and colonial power structures.
