Contested Bodies is a group exhibition curated by Marcelle Joseph and Laura Claveria that interrogates and celebrates the performativity of gender as a social construct. It understands gender as a cultural fiction with no fixed, natural or innate characteristics, but as an act that is performed and reproduced at individual, societal and institutional levels. Runs from 25 October 2023 to 6 April 2024 at the Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK.
