Nonlimerent // Monosexual: An Aromantic and Asexual History
Curated by Luciella Scarlett in collaboration with Emily Busch & Kate Wood
Opening Event: Saturday 1st Feb 1pm
1st February - 20th February 2025
In February 2025, the Louis Joel Gallery will celebrate 10 years since the Victorian Aces (now Aces+ Melbourne) first marched in the annual Midsumma pride parade with a history and art exhibition focused on the A in LGBTQIA+.
“Nonlimerent”, coined by Dorothy Tennov in 1979, and “monosexual”, by Karl Maria Kertbeny in 1868, are terms that have historically held similar meanings to “aromantic” and “asexual”. Although terminology and social contexts have changed over time, asexual and aromantic people have always existed. This exhibition will explore the forces, individuals and events that have shaped a-spec identity over time.
