Kaleidoscope

Queer culture is a kaleidoscope; ever changing with endless possibilities contained within the human experience.

Kaleidoscope is an exhibition that explores the idea of queerness in its many forms. It embraces, celebrates and emphasizes the differences and experiences that have shaped the lives of those within this community from varied and diverse perspectives. Each artwork reflects life through a queer lens, and approaches the ideas explored in this exhibition as an expression of identity, desire and representation.

From contemporary love to the darker side of social movements that changed lives, queer history is an active process that is ever evolving, and this exhibition aims to give agency to the subjects and their experiences.

Many of the works in this 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.

Kaleidoscope is about celebrating, remembering, representing, learning and connecting through art.

This exhibition is supported by the generosity of its Major Supporter the Wimmera Pride Project, and Exhibition Supporter the Dimboola Imaginarium.
