QUEER COHESION

Queer Cohesion started as a series of three exhibitions, now providing a platform for queer contemporary artists from the Nordic countries. The respective exhibitions carry the following thematics; Collectiveness, Norm-Criticality and Body. The project Queer Cohesion is initiated and curated by artists Hinni Huttunen (FI/SE) and AnnaLeena Prykäri (FI/SE). 

Queer Cohesion started in the year 2020. First exhibition with the theme of Collectiveness took place in 2021 as collectiveness is vital for the queer communities' existence and survival.

Followed by year 2023, the project continued with the theme of Norm-Criticality which is a tool for dismantling various social structures, constraining perspectives and highlighting power hierarchies. 

The exhibition series is finalized with the thematic of Body at Konsthall C. The Body is here seen as a psychical and mental state. For instance the Body can be a catalyst for movement or seen as a catalyst for dreams. 

The project is poised for expansion and new ideas, transitioning from an exhibition-focused context to diverse formats and existing in new spaces. 

Queer Cohesion stands for togetherness – solidarity – bonding and sticking together.
