The Garden exhibition at BGSQD
Solæ in use for The Garden, an art exhibition in New York curated by Jeanette Spicer and inspired by “Le Jardin” (1978, translated as “The Garden”) by Monique Wittig, a major figure in feminist and lesbian theory. Drawing on her vision of radical spaces for lesbian existence, the project offers a contemporary interpretation of that utopian framework.
Bringing together darkroom prints, collage, scanned flowers, a card deck, portraits, and video, the exhibition at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division (BGSQD) emerges at a time of renewed threats to LGBTQ+ lives. Featuring works by Rhiannon Adam, Deborah Bright, Sara Duell, Naima Green, Lindsey Perryman, Sunny Leerasanthanah, and Tray Tsui, The Garden centers lesbian vision, presence, creativity, and connection.
