Play with the dolls. Move them around. Three Kerala artists transform intimate spaces into sites of queer inquiry—fabric tents of chosen family, playgrounds beyond the binary, and self as subject.

Queering Spaces/Queering Gazes gathers three artists who investigate identity through the everyday, transforming intimate and social spaces into sites of queer inquiry.
Niranjana Aneesh's *Tent of Belonging* is a fabric-based installation exploring queerness, kinship, and childlike gaze. Constructed from donated textiles—sarees, bedsheets—from queer individuals and allies, each tent becomes a tactile archive of memory and care, reimagining domesticity through chosen family.
Avinash C S creates *The Indoor Playground*, an installation that problematizes rigid norms. The playground consists of dolls who represent more than man or woman—they transcend to a space that defies any resemblance with the binary. Audience members who play with the dolls become performers, critiquing how society compels individuals to perform gender.
Aswanth A turns the camera inward in a photographic series, building a visual archive of gender tension, positioning the self as both subject and site of exploration.
