Why do queer artists depict nudes?
Curator Morakot Meyer always gets asked this question. While the display of content warnings implies the contour of artistic freedom, she thinks that it misses the point. In fact, nudity is an expression of the inner self.
"The question betrays the assumption that being queer is otherness. It is defined by exposure of sexuality," Assoc Prof Morakot, lecturer at Mahidol University, told Life last month.
