Post Content: Alberta Printmakers (A/P) is pleased to present contemporary printmaking exhibition: No Place Like Homo by Queens-based artist K Sarrantonio
This exhibition opens on Friday, October 4 and is on display until November 22, 2024.
About the Exhibition:
No Place Like Homo brings together screenprinted ceramic tile and prints on paper to illustrate a non-linear experience of masculine pregnancy and queer home life. Taking root at the intersection of reproductive justice and queer liberation, No Place Like Homo draws on themes of choice, loss, intention, and autonomy, and questions what it means to “conceive of” in the context of conception itself. The exhibition explores contrasting desires for visibility and for safety, offering a view that is both zoomed in and zoomed out, tender, lighthearted, resolute, and joyfully mundane.
