“Queer shines a light on the NGV Collection to examine and reveal the queer stories works of art can tell. The exhibition spans 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.”
