'Over/exposed' is a co-creative video, photography and sound exhibition exploring the experience of microaggressions against queer people. The exhibition articulates the complexities of queer experiences and seeks liberation in its own disorientation and discomfort. The project was initiated by artist-researcher Regina Mosch from Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh who researches the (in)visibilities of trauma in documentary film. With work from ACE V!S!ON, Bryant Keith Bayhan, Lu Castello, Octa Delgado, Flava J, Regina Mosch and Bee asha singh. 

Over/exposed’ begins with traumatic experiences colliding with artistic processes. Through multiple video, photography and sound installations, the exhibition traces the discomfort, disorientation and pain of queer people caused by the long-term exposure to microaggression. Often perceived as subtle, fleeting or intangible, microaggressions might escape conscious thought but cause ruptures and complicated tensions in queer bodies.

Initiated as artistic research into the intersection of traumatic memory and co-creation, the exhibition stretches our understanding of queerness, documentary film and liberation, while holding space for vulnerable bodies in need of soothing. This exhibition invites you to our collaborative, non-hierarchical documentary space. This is an opportunity for a transformative encounter to open up conversations about queer bodies and queer identities.

15+ | TW:While not showing explicit content, the exhibition is about microaggressions against queer identities resulting in gender-based traumatic stress. The photographs, videos and sound might be perceived as intense with strong affective qualities.
