We are not our names and we are not our bodies is a new installation by David Rosetzky, developed through conversations and creative exchange with LGBTQIA+ community members connected to Kingston. Bringing together photography, sound and text, the exhibition reflects on how identity is lived and negotiated beyond fixed labels, through relationships, affect and the environments we move through.
The work creates a quiet, immersive space that attends to questions of visibility, care and presence, and to the subtle ways people hold one another in community. Developed collaboratively, the exhibition responds to lived experience in Kingston while extending the artist’s ongoing interest in portraiture, intimacy and the textures of queer life.
Opening celebration: Thursday evening 19 March 2026
