Descripción de la Exposición

Museum as Hub: Carlos Motta: We Who Feel Differently is a multipart project -featuring an exhibition, a two-day symposium, and Thursday night events- that explores the idea of sexual and gender difference after four decades of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Intersex, Queer, and Questioning politics. The project seeks to propose a queer We that values difference over sameness and that clears ground for greater personal freedoms in our present and future. Conceived as a platform to engage issues of contemporary queer culture, the exhibition for the Museum as Hub at the New Museum features a series of new sculptures and prints. Furthermore, a video installation, based on fifty interviews with an international and intergenerational group of LGBTIQQ academics, activists, artists, politicians, researchers, and radicals, situates current discussions of equality within the frameworks of citizenship and democracy. The project draws from Motta s evolving database documentary www.wewhofeeldifferently.info that addresses the history and development of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Intersex, Queer, and Questioning movements, proposing difference as a position for alliance-building, solidarity, and self-determination.
