surface Tension, Queerfest exhibition, 4-14 February 2026 St Margarets Gallery, Norwich

Surface tension suggests both resilience and fragility: a force that holds, yet can be broken. For queer bodies and identities, how we appear becomes a manifesto — a way of living visibly in a world that often politicises our existence.
