NOT JUST A PHRASE - MIDSUMMA FESTIVAL
Unassigned Gallery
Not Just A Phrase brings together over twenty works by ten artists to illuminate words, phrases, symbols and signifiers that hold meaning for queer women and gender diverse people and communities.
Taking its cue from a common statement of queer resistance “it’s not just a phase”, the exhibition explores how we, as queer and trans people, have asserted the validity of our identities in the face of heteronormative expectations.
Not Just A Phrase demonstrates how queer and gender diverse people use words, phrases and symbols to signal identity, find community and take back power.

THE FRANKENSTEIN SHOW EXHIBITION -
MIDSUMMA FESTIVAL
Smith & Gertrude Gallery
Curated by a team of two emerging transgender curators, the exhibition showcases the creative practices of approximately 10 local and emerging LGBTQIA+ artists. Featuring a broad range of work over two levels, this show aims to engage with the co-existing struggle and pride of queer representation in 2023 expressed through a diverse range of visual and physical mediums, including live performance. The central theme of the show is the way in which queer and trans people build their own bodies, and their own categories, to fit in to.
