Event Info
In Between
In Between is a group exhibition situated within an LGBTQIA+ context, exploring the multiplicity of ways in which identity, emotion, and existence are experienced and expressed.
Rather than defining a single condition, In Between proposes an open space—one where different ways of being can coexist, intersect, and unfold without hierarchy or limitation.
“In between” is not confined to ambiguity or transition. It may be fluid or defined, shifting or already affirmed. It can exist in uncertainty, but also in clarity and self-recognition.
To enter In Between is not simply to encounter an exhibition, but to enter a state—a mode of being that does not require arrival or explanation.
Emerging from LGBTQIA+ lived experiences, this exhibition acknowledges the ongoing negotiation between self and society, visibility and invisibility, expression and understanding. At the same time, it resists reducing these experiences into fixed narratives, instead opening a space for multiplicity, difference, and personal ways of being.
Beyond the exhibition itself, In Between also extends into a series of public programs, including an Opening event, Artist Talks, Workshops, Queer Drag performances, and a community Storytelling Night. These programs aim to further activate the space as one of connection, participation, and shared experience.

-
Engage with LGBTQIA+ experiences (directly or indirectly)

Explore identity, body, intimacy, or perception
