Desire as Politics
Desire as Politics presented a selection of LGBTQ perspectives in contemporary film and video from 1985 to 2017. The exhibition is not meant to summarize this arbitrary span of time, but rather to look at works exploring a range of identities, social constraints and prejudices unique to LGBTQ positions, including representation, fantasy, fear, love and the blurring of binaries, positions that we feel are vital in our current climate.
The exhibition included works by Sadie Benning, Cecilia Dougherty, Matt Lambert, Zackary Marsack, Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay, Rashaad Newsome, Ira Sachs, and Akram Zaatari, and was curated by Scott Northrup and Jonathan Rajewski for The Valade Gallery at College for Creative Studies.
