Interrupt art exhibition, a central element of Queerfest Norwich 2024, is to be held at the Undercroft from 9th - 24th February. ncas is pleased to have helped to support this event with one of our small grants.
Rachel Collier-Wilson worked with guest curator, Sakib Khan, to produce this show and she explained the concept behind the exhibition:
“As LGBTQIA+ people, we operate within the matrix of a cis-heteronormative society. We are often unseen. When we are noticed, we are often ‘othered’. Interrupt aims to challenge and disrupt the system and the cis-heteronormative gaze. Interrupt is to be curated to foreground varied stories of Queer experience. The exhibition aims to validate and affirm marginalised identities, potentially sparking new ideas in individual practice and supporting emerging artists. Artists may wish to share art that addresses topics of gender, sexuality, gender dysphoria, mental health, combating stigma, masculine- and feminine-presenting folk and, of course, some fun and playfulness.”
The Undercroft can be found at the top side of Norwich Market, close to Norwich City Hall and the Guildhall. Open 11-5 Tuesday - Saturday; 12-4 Sunday, 9 - 24 February.
