HEATHER RILEY ARTIST

Queering the Collection (2023)

​

Queering the Collection brought together a selection of artworks from the Robert McLaughlin Gallery's permanent collection seeking to expand upon the established interpretations of these artworks by looking at them through a queer lens. The artworks were selected taking into account records and documentation that suggest these artists lived outside of gender and sexuality binaries and in doing so, questions why these facts have been historically removed from conversations about the artist and their work.
