An interactive exhibition by queer artists exploring the changing landscape of queer space. Queer(ing) space examines the places that make us and those that break us, the spaces we self create, and the queer worlds and families we build. From clubs to bus stops, houses to dancefloors, from permanent to temporary, how do our environments shape us and how do we shape them? This exhibition has been conceived in reaction to the continuing closure of LGBTQI+ nightlife spaces in London, but also in acknowledgement of the limitations of those spaces and their inability to cater for the diversity of our community.
