QUEER FUTURITIES PRESENTS A SURVEY OF SIX CONTEMPORARY TRANS AND GENDER NONCONFORMING ARTISTS WHOSE ARTISTRY INVOKES THE CYBORG TO EXPLORE QUEERED NOTIONS OF GENDER, EMBODIMENT, AND IDENTITY IN A CULTURE MEDIATED BY TECHNOLOGIES.

The interdisciplinary exhibition includes paintings, zines, drawing, performance, and new media works including an interactive, playable environment. Queer Futurities features the work of artists Abby Lowenstein, Tabitha Nikolai, James Ross, Sam Szabo, Ava Wanbli, and Aleida Zapata:

James Ross and Sam Szabo critique present-day cis-heteronormative biases embedded in the architecture of the internet through satirical narratives. Ava Wanbli and Aleida Zapata offer intensely personal meditations on the trans body in gestures that disrupt the gaze of commodification and fetishization. Abby Lowenstein records the first-person experiences of queer people among the first generation of digital natives, while Tabitha Nikolai invites us into an interactive virtual environment to discover a far-future centering the transgender experience.
  

Together, the work of these artists envisions the possibility of transformative futures which transcend binaries that regulate and control the performance of gender and sexuality.
