Not A Hetwave, Just A Queer Pandemia
From June 22nd to July 2nd, the Queer Pandemia exhibition takes center stage at BASE Milano, shining a spotlight on LGBTQIA+ art forms. Organized by TWM Factory in collaboration with BASE Milano, this captivating event showcases the artistic and intellectual ferment of "different" subjectivities.
Queer Pandemia aims to explore seemingly unfamiliar and intimidating artistic practices through which LGBTQIA+ entities carve out a space for representation in society. The curatorial intention is centered around reclaiming narratives that often label the "different" as diseased or monstrous.
This international exhibition is the culmination of a call launched by TWM Factory, which received submissions from 250 artists and 46 authors. It represents an artistic and intellectual effervescence from the margins, ready to invade, proliferate, and contaminate contemporary culture and art.
Queer Pandemia transcends any single artistic form. The exhibition features over 60 international artists working in diverse mediums such as video art, photography, design, painting, installation, and sculpture. Their works interpret hybrid imaginaries that blur the lines between the vegetal, animal, and digital realms, offering a rich and captivating artistic experience.
The event will also include encounters and discussions with activists, authors, artists, and professionals who will delve into the themes addressed in the project.
Queer Pandemia is more than just an exhibition; it is an act of courage and resistance against a society that all too often marginalizes diverse voices and identities. By harnessing the power of art, the queer community seeks to reveal its true essence and celebrate the spaces it creates.
Accompanying the exhibition is the publication of a book bearing the same name, created by TWM Factory in collaboration with Edizioni TLON. This book serves as a collective map of contemporary queer artistic practices, offering complete freedom in interpretation. It will be available for free consultation alongside a selection of fiction, non-fiction, and photography books, thanks to a partnership with Libreria Antigone Roma, Libreria Leporello, and the Biblioteca Comunale di Cisterna di Latina.
