About the exhibition

You Are Here Too, curated by Kink curatorium, presents a collection of works by contemporary Australian artists exploring queer desire and sexuality. It serves as both a celebration and a response to the groundbreaking 1992 show You Are Here at the Institute of Modern Art, which made history as Queensland’s first exhibition featuring exclusively gay artists during the height of the AIDS crisis.

Thirty-three years later, this contemporary reflection examines the evolution of LGBTQI+ expression in Australia, showcasing new and existing works that present queer desire as ‘amorphous, fluid, temporal, retreating, explicit, abstracted and political.’ Featured artists include Holly Bates, Nick Breedon, Alexis Kanatsios, Gian Manik, and Yangamini, with performances by Leen Rieth, Crystal Love, and others.

Content Warning: This exhibition contains coarse language and sexual themes.
