About the exhibition

A Room of One's Own: An exhibition of contemporary queer art by Mark Mann

28 January - 4 April 2025

Mark Mann is a Norfolk-based artist who uses the seductive qualities of ceramics and textiles to explore queer identity self-expression. In this exhibition, inspired by the domestic interiors created by men in a time before the legalisation of homosexuality, floral prints, ceramic tiles and carefully curated upholstery weave through the casts, drawing out a history of queer censorship and public punishment. Together, the works use the visual language of interior decor, so often dismissed as mere window-dressing, to create a show which is equal parts beguiling and compelling.
