Unbound is a quality assured, peer-reviewed exhibition curated by Dr Natalie Smith and Victoria Bell. The curators seek proposals that respond to Christine Webster’s Black Carnival Series 1992–1994: http://www.christinewebster.co.uk/texts/w_bc.html. This series of work speaks to the changeability of dress, bodies and sexualities.
