The Brick x Lavanda Collective

Gallery Residency

Pansy Debutantes was an exploration of queer identities through diverse mediums, capturing the intimate, complex, and often unseen spaces of self-actualization. The exhibition presented works of artists from Lavanda — a collective of queer contemporary faces— each challenging the conventional narrative of queerness, offering instead a journey into the deeply personal and often paradoxical terrains of self-discovery, transformation, and vulnerability.
