Numb
This exhibition features new works examining the experiences of the Chinese LGBTQIA+ community. Doyle uses the prevailing social control over queer culture in China as a metaphor to address historic and ongoing discrimination even stigmatisation of queer people across the globe.
In a series of works informed by a residency in Shanghai, Doyle looks at China’s restrictive social structures and conventions with respect to sexual minorities. The artist focuses on individuals that they encountered during their residency ranging from a queer activist to anonymous citizens to ruminate on the tension between the conditions of existence of LGBTQIA+ people and normative sexual morale and behaviour.
