Social issues are driven by currents of cultural transitions. At the core of this project rests the desire to understand how contemporary structures mold and transform individual lives, gender, social power, and the ideologies of class systems. 

Inspired by the Latin expression that translates to “of its own kind”, Sui Generis reveals shifting identities embedded in today’s social and cultural environments.

An experimental and progressive approach is the result of a curatorial collaboration between interdisciplinary artists, Carol-Anne McFarlane and Sophie Bonet, where the theory of intersectionality serves as paramount for advancing social awareness, inspiring solidarity on a trans-cultural, trans-generational, and trans-disciplinary level. 

A heterogeneous group of artists was invited to reclaim space, freely, without censure, presenting a wide range of multidisciplinary expressions of identity and sociopolitical discourse. Touching upon politics, migration, belief systems, self-analysis, and self-preservation, here the viewer is invited to reflect on ever-changing society, prompting questions of “who determines what is normal?”, “how do we establish new value systems?” and “how do we move from analysis into action?”.
