The Transmission Commission Collective (TCC) seeks submissions for Rare & Raw, a curated exhibition exploring queer representation, historical visual culture and contemporary art production. The TCC invites proposals that investigate notions of queer knowledge, history and intergenerational pedagogy.
Queer communities are experiencing an overwhelming gap between older and younger generations—due to technology and generational lifestyles as well as the many lives decimated by AIDS. The past remains integral to queer epistemology and representation. The intention of Rare & Raw is to promote dialogue that is invested in queer history and artistic production.
How has history shaped current discourse of queer representation and visual culture?
What is the role of accessibility in queer history and contemporary art practices?
How have notions of the archive informed contemporary queer art?
