Presented at Cookhouse Gallery, London, in January 2024, ARC 24: Art from Rebellion and Connection formed The Queer Museum’s 2024 international exhibition in collaboration with the University of the Arts London. The exhibition brought together 25 artists from 15 countries and combined works from The Queer Museum’s collection, invited artists, and UAL students, positioning the exhibition as both an international survey and a site of exchange between institutional, independent and emerging practices.
The exhibition was framed through the relation between rebellion and connection: rebellion understood not simply as refusal, but as a way of resisting imposed norms of gender, sexuality and cultural belonging; connection understood as the formation of visual, political and affective links across different social realities. In this context, works addressing sex, politics, rejection and migration were presented not as isolated statements but as part of a wider field of queer artistic practice shaped by movement, vulnerability, solidarity and dissent. Read in this way, ARC 24 proposed queer art as a mode of relation as much as a mode of critique, bringing diverse cultural positions into a shared but non-uniform conversation.
