2025 Art Exhibit

Our Private Lives Are Political

This exhibition presents a visual and emotional manifesto, in which our intimacies allow our voices as women and lesbians to resonate throughout art history. Using drawings, paintings, sculptures, videos, photographs, archives, performances, and reinterpretations of paintings, it celebrates our resilient bodies, our carnal mythologies, our lesbian loves, and the reappropriation of an artistic space that has been patriarchal for too long. It unearths forgotten artists-a 19th-century singer, Japanese activists-and traces an intergenerational thread between childhood and lesbian maturity. These works, somewhere between dream and rebellion, reveal the invisible scars left by sexist violence, psychiatric norms, ageism, and beauty standards. It's a serious and poetic tribute to the power of bodies, resilience, otherness, and lesbian visibility in all its diversity.

Private viewing: Friday, October 31 at 7:30 p.m. in the screening room, followed by a cocktail reception at the end of the screening, on the walkway.
