Fresh Meat in the Gallery is a groundbreaking, rule-breaking annual exhibition of transgender and gender variant artists. It is the first and only exhibition of its kind in the nation.
This year’s exhibition, Defying Gravities, asks artists: In these unstable times how do you and your community rise up and thrive? What do you create that grounds or defies? How do you ground yourself in the midst of instability? What connections do you rely on or seek out? How do you find relief through humor or outrageousness? What do you dream of for yourself or your community? Queer history is full of acts of defiance. How do you find inspiration today in these histories?
