Queer Is Where The Heart Is art exhibition is to open at the National Queer Organization, Samtokin '78, January 21st. Queer Is Where The Heart Is is a an art exchange between Iceland and the US that explores the many nuances of queerness with a special interest in how queerness relates to place. As a transitory and ever-evolving identity and social group, roughly defined by what we are not, queers are no strangers to claiming place – making home where the heart is — often in the margins, with fluid definitions, in self-defined categories, relationships, and places.
This project includes exhibitions in Reykjavik and Baltimore, an online archive, and an exhibition zine with a compilation music cd. Visit Queer Is Where The Heart art Facebook event pagefor more information
