Dancing in the Dark
In October, it will be two years since the terrorist attack outside the queer café Tepláreň, in which two innocent lives were lost and many others tragically left behind. How is the queer community coping with this event? How do LGBTI+ people feel today in a country where they are constantly targeted (not just verbally)?
The Dancing In the Dark exhibition will showcase the work of 13 male and female artists who are seeking answers to these questions. Through art, they try to talk about the unspeakable and look for ways to carry on and find joy in life despite everything.
Exhibitors: Andrej Dúbravský, Peter Barényi, Maroš Rovňák, Emília Rigová, Maroš Bavoľár, Natália Drevenáková, Ricardo Hoineff, Kristína Hrevušová, Bystrík Klčo, Kristián Németh, Aliza Orlan, Jakub Straka, Alexander Zigo
Curator: Alexandra Tamásová
