In light of current world events, artists experiencing censorship, transphobic and homophobic legislation, and the climate crisis, [queerphoria] returns to NYC Jewelry Week 2024 to create a space where artists are free to express themselves through the art of jewelry making and craft.

[queerphoria] volume 4: connection is an in-person and virtual exhibition showcasing international 2SLGBTQIA+ artists exploring themes of connection in adornment and sculpture. Join Queer Metalsmiths’ curators SULO BEE, Tracey Carswell, and Rebecca Lee for the opening reception November 20th from 6-9pm at Urban Glass.

[queerphoria] volume 4 builds on the previous three volumes, and will be an immersive in-person exhibition exploring the concept of connection in its broadest form. Artists engaged in discussions that explore their diverse interpretations of this theme; encompassing connection to culture, land, identity, politics, surroundings, nature, family, etc.
