Gender Mutual Opening Reception
SUM gallery's first exhibition of 2026: Gender Mutual
SUM gallery's first exhibition of 2026, Gender Mutual brings together six trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming artists — Liam Murley, Taliruq, Dee Twentee, Paige Bowman, Addison Finch, and curator-artist Jamie Lauder — whose practices illuminate the deeply personal, expansive, and often nonlinear journeys of living beyond the gender binary. Following a month-long residency at SUM gallery, the exhibition foregrounds self-determined narratives, embodied histories, and the many ways gender is shaped, challenged, and reimagined across diverse lived experiences. Through painting, textile art, photography, media work, and costume design, Gender Mutual amplifies voices often overshadowed, inviting audiences into a space of reflection, resonance, and possibility.
Join us for the Opening Reception on Thursday, January 22, 5–9pm.
Please note: to accommodate members of our community, from 5–6pm the Opening Reception will be masks mandatory; from 6pm to close, masks are recommended. Masks and hand sanitizer will be available at the reception desk.
