Date: Sep 16, 2024
Alberta Printmakers (A/P) is pleased to present contemporary print exhibition: No Place Like Homo by Queens-based artist, K Sarrantonio.
The exhibition will run from October 4 to November 22, 2024 in the A/P Main Gallery
About the exhibition:
No Place Like Homo brings together screen printed ceramic tile and prints on paper to illustrate a non-linear experience of masculine pregnancy and queer home life. Taking root at the intersection of reproductive justice and queer liberation, No Place Like Homo draws on themes of choice, loss, intention, and autonomy, and questions what it means to “conceive of” in the context of conception itself. The exhibition explores contrasting desires for visibility and for safety, offering a view that is both zoomed in and zoomed out, tender, lighthearted, resolute, and joyfully mundane.
