Queer Arts Festival's Drama Queer: seducing social change visual-art exhibit hits a timely chord

      In the wake of Orlando, we need reflection and context. And one of the best ways to find that is through art. That’s what makes the Queer Arts Festival’s major new visual-arts exhibit, Drama Queer: seducing social change (to June 29 at the Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre Exhibition Hall), so timely. Curators Jonathan D. Katz (an American leader in queer academia and art activism) and Conor Moynihan explore “the role of emotion in contemporary queer art as a form of political practice”—the way feeling has driven activism in contemporary LGBTQ art (see 2Fik’s Fagger Rangers Vs Musulmen, shown here). Sounds relevant to these highly charged times.
