Pallas Projects/Studios is pleased to present The Queeratorial curated by Aoife Banks; featuring artists Becks Butler, Andrej Getman, Jordan Hearns, Ciarán O’Keeffe, Day Magee, Maïa Nunes, Lu Saborío, Jack Scollard and Hannah Tiernan. This is the fifth exhibition of our Arts Council Ireland funded 2019 Artist-Initiated Projects programme.

The Queeratorial posits an inquiry into contemporary queer expression, embodiment and desire in Ireland. Presenting work from emerging artists working in a diverse range of mediums such as paint, photography, performance, sculpture and film, this group exhibition addresses pressing issues surrounding gender, sexuality and race in Irish culture. Through spatial queering and a series of performances, workshops and reading groups. The Queeratorial transforms the gallery space into a queerscape of dialogue, relation, affectivity and reorientation in which we may explore what it means to be queer and the effects and affects of our cultural and spatial surroundings on identity and desire.

Alongside the work in the exhibition this collaborative project also presents a number of accompanying events, detailed information including the schedule can be found on http://pallasprojects.org.
