My Romantic Ideal is a queer photography exhibition curated by Slava Mogutin, showcasing a bold collection of works from 28 photographers that confront the complexities of love, desire, and identity. The exhibition runs until August 31, 2025, at The Bureau of General Services-Queer Division in New York City. It challenges conventional romantic narratives shaped by heteronormativity, offering a reimagined perspective on queer romance. The artists present intimate and often provocative works that lead dialogues about the politics of love and the transformative nature of queer eroticism.
The exhibition's title encapsulates the tension between conventional romantic ideals and the personal, rebellious expressions of love that define queer experiences.
Expect to see works that interrogate, queer, and redefine the concept of romanticism, encompassing everything from intimate portraiture to raw, unfiltered narratives.
Together, these remarkable artists foster an intergenerational dialogue about the politics of love and the transformative power of queer eroticism.
These photographers are not simply documenting a queer realityâthey are creating new paradigms of romanticism, fueled by their journeys and passions.
