With grim and distressing news becoming a constant in today's society, Lemonade Stand displaying work by Camryn Day (she/her), Sunday Jemmott (she/her), Clare O'Callaghan (they/them), and Talisa Moss (she/they) aims to showcase nostalgia as a tool to lift spirits.
Through mixed-media presentation, these works utilise bright colour, sugary aesthetics, nostalgic imagery, irony, and humour to explore personal narratives of identity, trauma, and life.
The works grapple with the innocence of childhood memories, alongside some exploration of the incipient signs of queer identities in youth.
This return to playful, child-like, aesthetic choices, in turn, reveals its healing power, resulting in a celebration of queerness, femininity, and personal identity.
