Wojciech Wos

Experience a Celebration of Queer Art at Gallery Weekend Berlin, May 1st – 3rd, 2026! This May, Berlin transforms into a vibrant canvas for creativity as Gallery Weekend 2026 approaches, and at its heart lies an extraordinary exhibition curated by the visionary Julian Daynov. QUEER UNFRAMING is not just an exhibition; it’s a dynamic celebration of queer narratives that promises to reshape how we think about, present, and experience art.

With the collaborative ingenuity of Berlin-based cultural marketing agency BOLD, QUEER UNFRAMING invites you to immerse yourself in a world where boundaries blur, and innovation thrives. As the exhibition assembles a dazzling array of queer artists across diverse mediums, including painting, sculpture, and installation, it also serves as a powerful cultural statement, recontextualising queer artistry as an indispensable force within the contemporary art landscape.

Curator Julian Daynov eloquently articulates the urgency of this moment: “At a time when queer communities are facing renewed challenges, art emerges as a vital act of resistance and a historic archive.” QUEER UNFRAMING aims to spotlight this resistance, showcasing artistic mastery rather than marginality, and underscoring how integral queer creation is to our collective cultural discourse.

Positioned decisively at the forefront of Gallery Weekend Berlin, this exhibition asserts the importance of visibility, declaring that queer narratives deserve to take centre stage rather than remain on the periphery. The title QUEER UNFRAMING epitomises this ambition: to challenge conventional narratives and establish space for self-defined representation, inviting all to engage in a dialogue that is as enlightening as it is inspiring.

Julia Winkels, founder and CEO of BOLD, shares her passion for this project, stating, “As part of both the creative industry and the queer community, we recognise our responsibility to support queer art. By amplifying each other’s voices, we ensure our stories remain a vital part of contemporary culture.”
