Cruising the Horizon: New York, is a vessel for radical imagination and existence to be shared and witnessed as a way for different worlds and realities to be experienced while revealing “that the “here and now” is simply not enough.” The works in this virtual exhibition move viewers to exist and express themselves freely and radically, without the oppressive conditions, restrictions, and boundaries of normative expectations and performances, especially in terms of gender and sexuality, majoritarian belonging, white supremacy and authoritarian systems. Now, more than ever, there is a greater need to continue generating and presenting experimental thoughts and radical modes of existence.
