Diverging from normative ideals and modes of being Diverging from normative ideals and modes of being, shedding:::selves brings together eight artists whose works generate new readings, metamorphoses, and entanglements of personhood. This landmark exhibition of queer East and Southeast Asian artists spans sculpture, painting, diagram, interactive installation, and video in its forging of selves that transcend the limitations of identity labels and categorisation. Instead, new linkages are drawn between technology, science, mythology, the post-human, performativity, and memory, encouraging us to reflect upon our own spectrums of experience.
