The Queer Gaze part II, the second part of this year’s major queer exhibition at KODE Kunstmuseer og komponisthjem in Bergen, Norway, is a part of the Queer Cultural Year celebrations in Norway. The Queer Cultural Year (2022) celebrates the 50. anniversary of the decriminalization of male homosexuality in Norway. The Queer Gaze part II, curated by Mathias Skaset and Bjørn Hatterud, presents queer artworks by twelve contemporary artists.
Participating artists: Chai Saeidi, Damien Ajavon, Fin Serck-Hanssen, FRANK, Hamid Waheed, Ihra Lill Scharning, Isak Leon Gunnarson, Jannik Abel, Lill-Ann Chepstow-Lusty, Nina Eriksson, Synnøve Sizou G. Wetten & Vebjørn Guttormsgaard Møllberg.
By shedding light on and challenging the mechanisms of power in society, queer art can create more room for freedom, understanding, and creative activity.
