Queer Newfoundland Hockey League (QNHL) is a fictional hockey league made up of 14 teams, all of which use pejoratives used against the LGBT2QIA+ community as team names. QNHL uses these pejoratives to reclaim the words often used against queer individuals both on and off the ice. These pejoratives, such as sissy and fag, are also often used against individuals who do not conform to the hegemonic masculinity often assigned to sports – teammates often cannot be emotional, cannot draw attention to themselves, nor talk about personal issues without fear of reprisal.
PARKADE GALLERY
Body Languages
Iván Acebo-Choy, Jillian Fleck, and Patrick Moskwa
Opening Reception and Artist Talk:
Friday, October 18
6 - 8 PM
Body Languages is a group exhibition from Iván Acebo-Choy, Jillian Fleck, and Patrick Moskwa which seeks to untangle the intricacies of queer loneliness and the deviant nature of masculine identity in cisheteronormative space. Through explorations of subtextually queer spaces such as the men’s locker room, the arenas of full-contact sport, and myths of the monstrous akin to the lonely minotaur, this exhibition inquires after the ways secretive gender and sexuality take shape through isolation.
