The exhibition is a journey I would say into the insights of different artists as they explore gender through their mediums. It's funny as it would seem to be a transcendence from what it would stand for in society or breaking down the notions and barriers.
The exhibition programme is done in black and white which I'm guessing purposely plays on the irony that gender is not so much of that anymore. It's not about male or female, masculinity or feminity and physical biology but rather that it goes beyond. This is shown in each artist chosen mediums to convey this that each identifies their gender such as Cibelle Cavalli Bastos's IN≠BODY: EXXO/REAL(I)T.Y #aevtardeprogram.
The exhibition serves as great education and insight into different aspects of genders such as Sadé Mica's Gotta do this first and Grace in the garms which used textile clothing to bind and the chest/breast which many trans men and non-binary people used to deal with body dysphoria.
Proving more a versatile exhibition, it not only invites attendees to view art in an open way but it also seeks to involve from the virtual reality gaming experience of Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley's WE ARE HERE BECAUSE OF THOSE THAT ARE NOT to the social context of the spoken and smell experience of Sarah Jury, Behrooz Shahriari and Rachel Sutela, Elvia Wilk and Sissel Tolaas's nnother.
