Deirdre Figueiredo | she/her | GB Queer + Metals is a Craftspace exhibition co-curated by Dauvit Alexander and Deirdre Figueiredo in collaboration with Rebekah Frank. The exhibition explores the multiplicity of queerness—whether as identity, lived experiences, thinking, cultures, aesthetic, influences, stories, place, and imagination—in relation to metalwork and metalsmithing. Rebekah’s Instagram page, @Queer.Art.Words, will be dedicated to sharing the work of queer metal artists during the month of March.

Dauvit, Deirdre and Rebekah identify as LGBTQ+ as part of their intersectional identities, making this project a personal and collective endeavour. It’s a means to affirm, empower and express solidarity between LGBTQ+ creatives, making visible the ways they are shaping, disrupting and contributing to contemporary craft and design practices.

The exhibition in Hereford, UK will include both images from the IG feed and the video interviews produced as part of San Francisco based metalsmith and writer Rebekah Frank’s digital residency with Craftspace. An essay about the project will be released when the exhibition opens during the Ferrous Festival on March 25. Thanks to everyone who participated in the survey!

Specifically, several aspects of me–my sexual orientation, my gender identity and presentation–mark me as indelibly separate from the norm. This is not by my choice but because our shared social world establishes "normal" and "deviant" identities, behaviors, lifestyles, and ways of living. By being authentically myself, I am determined to be deviant and therefore, separated from the norm.” Photo credit: Chris Lucibella, Evolution of Form, 2021, forged and fabricated steel, photo: Artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/1646437172334-T51ELRNZ0A5SG9HV1AGH/ChrisLucibella_portrait-sq.jpg Queer Metals - Chris Lucibella | she/her | US Chris Lucibella creates metalwork that ranges from jewelry to ornamental ironwork.

It's a commitment to create authentically, to support each other collectively, and to collaboratively work to dismantle the power structures that reduce us to disenfranchised identities.

I feel excluded from queer identity categories such as gender fluid or non-binary. These categories are not universal; their application has a very Western and contemporary scope. There are also strong associations between categories of queer identity and (supposedly) corresponding types of body and lifestyle.

Entering a male-dominated field as a queer woman, I found that my body was often defined by how it was perceived by others.

In 2022, I still identify as a lesbian, but I greatly appreciate the expansive conversations about gender identity in contemporary society.

Some objects are explicitly about queer issues or made for the queer community to wear. In other work, the queerness is implicit and certainly not intended solely for a queer audience. Playfulness and humour are often used to balance against themes of mortality, health, and the microscopic body – rooted in my queer youth and the fundamental impact of HIV/AIDS.” Photo Credit: Paul McClure, VIRUS, SPIRILLUM, BLOOD CELL (clockwise from top left), 2021, brooches, 3D printed nylon, stainless steel, photo: artist https://www.rebekahfrank.com/queer-metals-essay daily 0.75 2022-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/deb067b2-8ff7-49df-a6f5-3c923e75c2b0/Aaron+Decker%2CArt+Pieces%2C+photo-Jenn+Bondy.jpg Queer Metals Essay - Make it stand out Aaron Decker, Art Pieces, photo: Jenn Bondy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/8889b662-605e-4c64-b4d3-0b5b31daa910/Cate+Richards%2C+Clean+Me+Up-Broomcorn%2C+photo-artist.jpg Queer Metals Essay - Make it stand out Cate Richards, Clean Me Up, photo: artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/ffc66f70-96f9-4ca5-b47e-ecc291419ec9/Jo+Remillard%2C+photo-artist.jpg Queer Metals Essay - Make it stand out Jo Remillard, photo: artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/722a200f-9ece-4f34-95fc-68d035fabed3/Joshua+Fincher%2C+photo-artist.jpg Queer Metals Essay - Make it stand out Joshua Fincher and David Bath, photo: artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/d1af86b2-e3a4-4a52-a0c8-d70c97f98b02/Marsh+Moran.jpg Queer Metals Essay - Make it stand out Marsh Moran, photo: artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/7eae0aca-fe9c-4b96-8c7a-89e879b3f2ea/Coker%2C+Inundated%2C+photo-artist.jpg Queer Metals Essay - Make it stand out Funlola Coker, Inundated, photo: artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/af27e102-e58f-4a0f-93a1-eb3969267254/Quim+Kamikaze%2C+photo-artist.JPG Queer Metals Essay - Make it stand out Quim Kamikaze, photo: artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/91072c0e-4c34-4560-a573-cd1c5f042efd/Rachel+David%2C+Phases%2C+photo-Sesthasak+Boonchai.jpg Queer Metals Essay - Make it stand out Rachel David, Phases, photo: Sesthasak Boonchai https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/7e314d3e-6aa3-46e9-bc46-b42b66a4a901/lottery_Logo_Black+RGB.jpg Queer Metals Essay - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/aca6f438-b10f-40c4-b915-04bf834d5602/Byrd+Pappas-Custom+fire+wings%2C+photo-a+friendly+Burner.jpg Queer Metals Essay - Make it stand out Byrd Pappas, Custom Fire Wings, photo: friendly burner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/6eccd57c-d891-4545-b0ac-6d00d7c6f5a1/Amparo+Pons+Grau%2C+photo-Jason+Caternolo+%40jcaternolo.jpg Queer Metals Essay - Make it stand out Amparo Pons Grau, Portable First Aid Kits, photo: Jason Caternolo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/bde46bff-d8f5-4823-af15-de019eea957d/Katie+Ford%2C+Tentacle-Stache%2C+photo-Jeremy+Addington.jpg Queer Metals Essay - Make it stand out Katie Ford, Tentacle-Stache, photo: Jeremy Addington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/e2a1c11f-950d-4c31-b3f0-261114b4f739/Elliot+Papp%2C+Untitled%2C+photo-artist.png Queer Metals Essay - Make it stand out Elliot Papp, Untitled, photo: artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/55e4efd0-534a-4d49-948e-85eb6bb467b5/Magdalena+Csipo%2C+photo-artist.jpg Queer Metals Essay - Make it stand out Magdalena Csipö, photo: artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/d3fd90ba-ec38-4a8b-88a3-e7867d3246fd/Eloise+Winter%2C+photo-Rafael+D%27Oliveira%2C+%40oxyretronave.jpg Queer Metals Essay - Make it stand out Eloise Winter, photo: Rafael D'Oliveira @oxyretronave https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/2d7d1e4c-006d-4bd5-a6a5-70fba4cb394c/Chris+Lucibella%2C+photo-artist.png Queer Metals Essay - Make it stand out Chris Lucibella, Readiness to Hand, photo: artist⁠ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/682528f9-beac-4905-8a9e-c8b4391b2af1/AnnieHiggins%2C+Metamorphosis2%2C+photo-artist.jpg Queer Metals Essay - Make it stand out Annie Higgins, Metamorphosis 2, photo: artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d672467fe0d04000146dc22/74252271-ac76-4a95-a68b-6e27649917f8/Craftspace+logo+large+115mm%2B.jpg Queer Metals Essay - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
