Wild Waysides: Queer Ecology and the New Natural is a multidisciplinary exhibition exploring how queer thinking reshapes our understanding of nature and belonging. Originally curated by Pearl Van Geest and James Fowler, the project has toured across Canada, presenting works that challenge conventional ideas of landscape, identity, and the natural world.

For its next presentation — curated by Kristy Boyce — Wild Waysides comes to the RIT City Art Space, where selections from the original exhibition will be shown alongside new contributions from artists in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. The aim is to create a conversation between existing works and those responding directly to this context — to think about how queer relationships to land, place, and more-than-human worlds can be expressed in new ways.
