RAP Projects

RAP has been active in brining LGBT-themed art into public spaces and galleries since August 2009. The exhibitions are usually small-scale and non-profit oriented. RAP has been exploring the theme of gender-specification particularly in relation to the space.

Below are the documented list of the showcases that we have done so far. Click on the title for more information, snapshots and interview links with the artists involved.
