We are super excited to announce our first exhibition of 2023, queer!

This exhibition celebrates queer diversity, empowerment, and joy. The society we live in, even in York, continues to present hate, challenge, and pain to the queer community - and so we therefore believe it is important to challenge this by instead spotlighting the positive, euphoric, and exuberant aspects of LGBTQ+ experiences and expression.

Given that this is the Norman Rea Gallery’s first exhibition wholly devoted to this topic, queer! will embrace a broad concept of queerness, sexuality, and gender as a way of reflecting the diversity of the LGBTQ+ community and queer spaces generally.
