Queer art and politics have always included notions of transgression, but in the media age these ideas have changed radically. What we once saw as disobedient or even sinful is now commonplace, when any manner of visual and digital material is on everyone\u2019s screen in seconds. But our digital age is also embedded in one of the most conservative social environments in many decades, creating interesting dichotomies and contradictions. TransgressionNow will feature 14 artists who still see transgression in Queer Culture.
