SUMMARY:No Place Like Homo
DESCRIPTION:No Place Like Homo brings together screen printed ceramic tile and prints on paper to illustrate a non-linear experience of masculine pregnancy and queer home life. Taking root at the intersection of reproductive justice and queer liberation\, No Place Like Homo draws on themes of choice\, loss\, intention\, and autonomy\, and questions what it means to “conceive of” in the context of conception itself. The exhibition explores contrasting desires for visibility and for safety\, offering a view that is both zoomed in and zoomed out\, tender\, lighthearted\, resolute\, and joyfully mundane. \nK Sarrantonio blends traditional and experimental screenprinting techniques to represent queer domesticity and genderqueer experience. Born in the Hudson Valley in Upstate New York\, K lives and works in Queens\, NY. They have attended residencies at McColl Center\, Women’s Studio Workshop\, Vermont Studio Center\, Crosstown Arts\, Signal Fire Arts\, and Kimmel Harding Nelson Center. They received an MFA from Rhode Island School of Design and a BA from Hampshire College.  \n  \nVisitor Information:\nNew to the A/P space? Welcome! \nHere’s a helpful guide to visiting the A/P Gallery\, Studio\, and Events \nHours and Location: \nA/P Main Gallery Hours: Wednesday from 10am – 5pm; Thursday – Saturday from 10am – 5pm (closed Sunday\, Monday\, and Tuesday) Accessibility: \nAccessibility:  \nA/P is located near the 39th Ave. C-Train Station and has free parking stalls located in front with an access ramp at the north end of the building.  \nWe do our best to accommodate the needs of our visitors whenever possible. \n\nThe A/P facility is mostly mobility friendly\, however our washout sink area and single stall gender neutral washroom are not wheelchair accessible.  \nWe welcome your questions and are committed to working with our members and guests to have a great visit when you are here!  \nInclusivity and code of conduct: \nA/P’s cultivates an inclusive and collaborative environment to learn about printmaking\, to create printed works\, and to pursue exciting artistic opportunities. \nA/P operates by a code of conduct with an expectation of promoting dignity and respect to all\, and we prioritize individual and community safety.  Any form discriminatory behaviour\, intimidation\, bullying\, harassment or victimization is not tolerated.
