EXHIBITION CONCEPT

Sex is deeply political and connected to questions of power, identity, autonomy, labour, violence, pleasure and representation. Yet dominant images of sexuality are still largely shaped by patriarchal ideas and a cis-male perspective. FIGHT OR FLIGHT: SEX brought together 25 artistic positions that approached sex through feminist and queer perspectives, addressing desire, intimacy, shame, consent, the body and the ways sexuality is controlled or commercialised.

The exhibition created space for experiences and viewpoints that are often marginalised or reduced to stereotypes. Different media and spatial approaches allowed conflicting, uncomfortable and humorous positions to exist alongside one another. A public programme of performances, workshops and collective formats extended these questions beyond the exhibition space and opened them to broader forms of exchange.
