That’s So Gay – Opening Reception **ALTERNA PRIDE**
The title is a cheeky re-appropriation of the word “gay,” now that it’s become widely accepted slang for anything and everything uncool; and through that, a reflection on how queers have needed to constantly fight with language, appropriating and re-appropriating words in order to assert themselves at this very basic linguistic level. The exhibition assembles work that deals with the queer experience, and is knowing, assertive and even aggressive about it.
