Queer Gear
August 15 - October 23
University of Kentucky Gatton Student Center | 160 Avenue of Champions, Lexington, KY, 40508
Clothing is a visual cue to subtly, or not so subtly, signal queerness to others. Differences in dress can be seen as deviant and call into question social norms. This exhibition publicly displays garments from queer Kentuckians, Queer Gear and celebrates the vibrant and eclectic histories that these objects tell.
