Transfigure: A Celebration of Queer Transformation in the Face of Resistance

Organization: Fenix Arts Location Fayetteville, AR Entry Fee Paid Entry Deadline April 30, 2024 Exhibition Jun 6 - Jul 7, 2024
Transfigure: Transformation as a Revolutionary Act

Calling all queer artists from the Mid-South region to participate in 'Transfigure,' a juried art exhibition and series of events that explore the multifaceted journey of queer metamorphosis.

This group exhibition takes place in June 2024 at Fenix Gallery in Fayetteville, Arkansas. An artist-run space, Fenix hosts a range of group and member exhibitions throughout the year and is a hot spot for visual arts in Northwest Arkansas.

'Transfigure' seeks to illuminate the boundless potential of self-discovery, resilience, and authenticity within queer communities.
At the heart of 'Transfigure' lies the notion of transformation as a revolutionary act. Drawing inspiration from the etymology of the word 'transfigure' - to change in form or appearance - this exhibition delves into the intricate tapestry of queer lives and histories, showcasing the remarkable power of metamorphosis in shaping personal narratives and collective consciousness.

All mediums are welcome. We encourage submissions that reflect the myriad ways in which queer individuals and communities have defied societal expectations, transcended limitations, and emerged as agents of change.
