What does it mean to be ‘OTHER’?
Queer communities in and around Manchester have experienced massive change in the way that their identities are accepted or tolerated in mainstream society, and yet there remains an inherent assumption of ‘difference’ about queer people. While heterosexual relationships and cisgendered individuals are assumed as ‘normal’, LGBT+ individuals and relationships are ‘OTHER’.
Intended as a celebration of the art produced by queer artists from the Manchester area, ‘OTHER’ demonstrates the exceptional diversity of queer expression, throwing into question both the designation of a monolithic ‘otherness’, and of a discernible ‘normal’: the spectral nature of queer identities reveals the inherently unique nature of all humans.
