“...'queer' as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live.”
― bell hooks

The queer body is inherently at odds with the binary systems and histories that make up what has long been the dominant cultural narrative. “At Odds” brings together the work of artists that exist and create beyond these binaries. The work in this show positions clay as body - and body as landscape, territory, archive; site of joy and discomfort, mourning and pleasure. In the act of creating, they preserve the embodied queer experience in a medium that echoes and responds to the queer bodies that handle it, in all of their depth and multiplicity.
