In this solo exhibition Henri T curates 25 of their works which blur the line between reality, queer coding and the imagined.
They explore our queer history and create a dreamscape of what could be. The works challenge the word ‘tradition’ which is predominantly used in a hetero-patriarchal context.
We, as in LGBTQAI+ people, have always been here and we have a rich and complex history, with a strong sense of community. This is an invitation for the viewer to dream of a better future and to feast their eyes on the flamboyancy of boundless self expression.
About Henri T:
Henri T (they/them) is a visual storyteller, working with photography, moving image and performance. They are interested in documenting and exploring queerness, deconstructing the gender binary and raising visibility for underrepresented groups and issues. Henri describes themselves as an observer who, with an honest and kind eye, encourages their subjects to embrace all of who they are. In contrast to this, the set in their work is often staged, as they want the viewer to reflect on our environments as what they are, social constructs. The more we don’t feel align with those constructs, the harder it is to navigate this world and to find a comfortable space within it.
Being a dancer and performer themselves, Henri is also very passionate about documenting the Arts, mainly theatre, dance, performance art and cabaret.
