Pleasure Project – Queer Ecologies

Pleasure Project is a curatorial initiative that creates exhibitions centred on queer women, trans and gender diverse people. They have received a small grant towards their next exhibition Queer Ecologies.

Queer Ecologies is a multi-arts exhibition at Montsalvat on 1–26 October 2025. Co-curated by Tor Evans and Lesley Luo, the exhibition brings together visual arts, writings, film, and a participatory workshop to celebrate the many connections between queer identities and the natural world. The exhibition seeks to foster creativity and connection within the LGBTIQA+ community, as well as amplify queer perspectives on environmental issues.
