GQN III | The Art of Being
April 27 - May 25, 2018
As an exhibition, The Art of Being was an opportunity to introduce and expand visual representations of Queer, Indigenous culture and underrepresented communities within Southwest contemporary art. In addition, it remains the projection, reflection, and activation of individual and communal identity grounded in creative expression and artistic existence. Limited only by one's imagination, the selected works occupy and activate space while advocating for personal forms of resiliency, diversity, and being.
