These artists are out. In worlds familiar and unfamiliar, these artists assert their own sexuality and body to reimagine environments and landscapes. Each artist presents figures reclaiming agency and freedom in place and time. Joyous and celebratory, relaxed and non-chalant, these works reveal new possibilities for leisure and security. Be out with us.

Khari Johnson-Ricks, Jarrett Key, Jon Key, Emily Oliveira, Ricardo Partida, Aparna Sarkar
