Description
Bird Circuit explores themes of personal expression and identity through the rich symbolism of birds utilizing a queer-coded lens. The exhibition takes inspiration from the historical network of mid-20th-century bars in cities like New York and Los Angeles, where venues with bird-inspired names covertly signaled safety and solidarity as queer communal spaces at a time when self-expression was a dangerous pursuit.
