From 19 June to 16 August, Kunsthal Extra City presents Biophony: Beats of Love, a guest exhibition by Antwerp Queer Arts Festival. Twelve artists connected to the festival bring their work together in an exhibition that emerges from encounter, collaboration and shared engagement.

Antwerp Queer Arts Festival is sustained by a group of volunteers, many of whom are artists. For Biophony: Beats of Love, twelve of them present work at Kunsthal Extra City.

The exhibition does not begin from a fixed theme or curatorial framework. It arises from artists coming together through shared experiences, interests and forms of engagement. As the initiators describe it: “We are here because we do things together, and find something good and beautiful in that.” Friendship, joy, support, wonder and collectivity form the basis of this presentation.

During the exhibition, a series of activities will take place. These respond to what the participating artists are engaged with, amused by, troubled by or moved by, and each takes on its own form.
