(I am not) Sensitive Content

Body, identity – for a long time now, our societies have been struggling with these issues, and all too often the result is fear and rejection of all that is different.

This online exhibition, curated by Kateryna Pidhaina from Kyiv, brings together a number of artists – including queer ones – from Ukraine, who approach these questions in drawings, sculptures, watercolors or photos.

Queer censorship?

The project is specifically dedicated to queer identity in art, in real life as well as in social media. We wonder:

1) Why do artists choose to address LGBTIQ* issues in their works?
2) What are they confronted with when they work with it?
3) What role does queer art play in society?

We meet four artists*

Anatoliy Belov, who deals with queerness, homo/sexuality and body in his drawings. VIDEO

Maria Kulikovska, who works on feminism, the female body and actionism in her drawings and sculptures. VIDEO

Kinderalbum, who reflect on same-sex love, social roles and gender issues through drawings and installations. VIDEO

Kateryna Ermolaeva, who uses photography to explore how gender identity is created. She plays with visual and cultural codes. VIDEO
