Art exhibition by Whanganui Artist; Melanie Fleet.

As part of the LGBTQI+ community I see the impact of bigotry and phobias every day. The choice of grenades highlights the explosive nature of LGBTQI+ issues.

Using materials that are colourful, sparkly, quirky and playful, conveys a sense of resilience and strength within the LGBTQI+ community, showing that despite facing hate and discrimination from others we continue to shine brightly and stand together with pride.

The pieces exhibited are 3D mixed media sculptures and photographic prints of the sculptures.
