Matthew Harris is exhibiting in Unbecoming at La Trobe Art Institute. "Unbecoming examines the ‘queer gothic’, characterising it through dark, horror-tinged imagery and themes; states of collapse and decomposition; and a focus on isolation and the individual. These themes are posed as counter-narratives to more dominant and typical framings of queerness through emergence, togetherness and communality." Curated by Tim Riley Walsh. Exhibition: 22.05.25 — 10.08.25, Bendigo.
