Detail
30th March - 18th May, Open 5pm-9pm, Wed-Sat. Susanne Strassman’s portraits of local people drawn from the local LGBQT+ community are extraordinary for their barrier mangling intimacy. Actually, this exhibition make the term “LGBQT+ community” seem rather reductive, because Susanne Strassman has really teased out the uniqueness of each sitter. They are individuals rather than part of one homogeneous blob. An oral history – with the sitters reflecting on their experience and life in the city – also makes up a sound installation, which overlays Strassmann’s work.
