This exhibition unveils intergenerational narratives that invite viewers to engage with the complexities of Western political systems and their entanglement with colonial legacies, oppressive structures, and exclusionary ideologies, particularly concerning LGBTQ+ existence and memory. Infused with wit and satire, this exhibition not only serves as a critical exploration of how historical injustices persist across generations, shaping contemporary political landscapes, and perpetuating systems of marginalization but also uses humour as a lens through which to examine the absurdities of such entrenched societal norms. “Rose-tinted glasses” is a figurative term used to describe a perspective that overly accentuates the positive aspects of a situation while minimizing or ignoring its negative aspects. It implies viewing the world or circumstances through an excessively optimistic or idealized lens, often disregarding realistic considerations.
Exhibition on from March 22-May 12.
