Queer

Queer shines a light on the NGV Collection to examine and reveal the queer stories works of art can tell. This exhibition of works from the NGV Collection spans historical eras and diverse media including painting, drawing, photography, decorative arts, fashion, video, sculpture, and design and explores queerness as an expression of sexuality and gender, a political movement, a sensibility, and as an attitude that defies fixed definition.

Rather than attempting to provide an encyclopedic history of queer art, the exhibition explores the NGV Collection from a queer perspective, presenting and interpreting queer concepts and stories.

Queer includes more than 300 artworks from antiquity to the present day, making the exhibition the most historically expansive thematic presentation of its kind ever presented by an Australian art institution.

Queer will be accompanied by a major publication, as well as a diverse range of programs and events.
