Radical Love: Where Spirit Transcends Law, is an immersive exhibition that journeys through reclaiming queer existence beyond criminalization. Artistic work confronts the different dimensions of repression – law, censorship, silence, erasure – while opening portals into resistance, memory, and radical futures beyond the state’s imagination.
At its heart, queerness is more than identity: it is a force of spirit, fluid and undefinable, that refuses the binaries imposed by colonial law and weaponized religion. Here, queerness takes on the posture of the “angelic punk” – a radical messenger of spiritual expansiveness that unsettles rigid categories, communicating new collective forms of life that law cannot capture.
Queerness situates itself within a lineage of radical spirit: one that defies oppression, exposes hypocrisy and reclaims faith from colonial distortion. In this light, queerness is not outside the sacred, but a home within it.
Here, art becomes principle, archive, and prophecy. It preserves what is threatened with erasure, resists that which seeks to silence, and imagines worlds where freedom is not granted by law but lived as spirit. The exhibition insists that while bodies may be criminalized, the spirit cannot be contained.
We invite artists, performers, and collectives to submit works for the exhibition, which unfolds across three thematic rooms: Beyond Binaries, Silenced Archives, and Angelic Punk.
Submissions can take the form of painting, collage, graphic design, digital art, performance, textiles, installation, sensory art, video, sound, or hybrid practices.
