From March 10 to 31, VOX-POP, the creative hub of the University of Amsterdam's Faculty of Humanities, hosts a special exhibition initiated by Spotlight, the UvA's queer student association. The exhibition features mixed-media artworks by queer artists who explore their identity as something built from many layers.
The participating artists show how being queer today is intertwined with stories from the past: family histories, migration and diaspora, language and traditions, religion, and colonial traces. Their work makes visible—and sometimes palpable in silence—how memories, heritage, and history resonate within a single body, a single voice, and in broader communities. The exhibition invites visitors to uncover the often-hidden lines between the personal and the collective, and to reflect on the ways the past continues to shape and support queer life today.
In addition to the exhibition, there is a side program that offers space for meeting, deepening understanding, and collective reflection, partly in collaboration with the Allard Pierson museum.
