The exhibition delves into the dynamic interplay of identities within the queer community. From bold and defiant expressions to vulnerable and introspective gazes, the portraits provide a glimpse into the multifaceted experiences of the LGBTQ+ community.

One part of the exhibition will feature a new curation of the HOMOgenous series, focusing on the subculture of gay bears. This new iteration will feature never-before-seen portraits. In contrast to the rugged masculinity of the bear community, the second part of the exhibition extends the scope to encompass the broader queer community with theatrical expressions full of attitude.

The exhibition not only celebrates the visibility of queer identities but also confronts viewers with the complexities of gender, sexuality and self-expression. By directly confronting the viewer, the subjects assert their presence and demand recognition, fostering a dialogue about inclusivity, acceptance and the ongoing struggle for equality.
