Into the ROC: Queering Democracy Exhibit at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center

Join Into the ROC as we discover the history of queer art as it has achieved greater prominence in recent years. The Queering Democracy exhibit at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center invites artists to showcase their art as a poignant response to alarming rise of anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation sweeping the nation. There are currently over 540 state-legislated bills threatening the rights and needs of non-binary individuals, including targeted measures against transgender people. From restricting Drag performances to censoring school curriculum and banning books, the echoes of past discrimination are hauntingly reminiscent.
