SLQS Gallery: Bex Wade exhibition
April 25 - May 17
AWAD Member, SLQS Gallery presents I Know Who I Am By Being With You, an exhibition of early works by trans non-binary photographer Bex Wade, which captures New York’s queer nightlife in the early 2010s, and marks Wade’s first solo show.
I Know Who I Am By Being With You is a meditation on performance as an art form and as a survival strategy. The nightclub becomes a stage where identity is not just expressed but constructed, negotiated and reimagined with every movement. Wade’s lens captures this ritual of queer becoming, the way bodies transform under the lights, the defiant theatrics of self-presentation, the silent exchanges that signal belonging. These moments are ephemeral, yet their impact lingers, shaping what it means to be seen.
Wade’s documentation of spaces of queer gathering archive moments where LGBTQIA+ people come together to celebrate, resist and redefine belonging. For Wade, “these images are an offering – to remember, to reclaim, and to carry forward the legacy of our collective becoming.” See gallery website to register interest in attending.
