Immerse yourself in a world of creativity, diversity and love
Queer subcultures in the UK are complex - often sexual and secret on one hand, yet with a determined sense of history and community, similarity, and a place where anything goes.
Many groups have been effected historically by hate. Queer men are particularly affected by shame, about not being enough—a strange battle between vulnerability and the ideas behind what is masculine. As a gay man, it can sometimes feel like a tightrope to fit into the ideas of who you are supposed to be in various situations, both in the queer community and wider society itself. It’s a topic which Gavin is exploring more in upcoming artwork.
