Terra Firma launches issue nine with new London exhibition
Terra Firma magazine issue nine was launched this month in a brand new exhibition named ‘I’m so gay for you’. Hosted at miłość (me-wosh-ch) gallery in London, the group exhibition opened with a private view on Valentine’s Day and continues until the 15th of March 2025.
Terra Firma writes, “‘I’m so gay for you’ is a celebration of queerness, care and communion, sex and camp, innuendo and ambiguity curated between miłość gallery and Sophie Willison of terra firma. Thirteen artists – Paul Arthur, Nic Bevers, Lucy Deverall, Gosia Kołdraszewska, The Lezbag & Polly Mortimer, Jan Możdżyński, Maite de Orbe, Maddy Rowley, Olivia Sterling, Rosie Thomas, Sophie Vallance Cantor, and Sophie Willison – present their takes on queer affection and joy in the media of photography, painting, collage, sculpture, print, jewellery and tapestry.”

The miłość gallery is a “contemporary art gallery championing emerging artists from backgrounds underrepresented in the western art world,” as noted on their website. Nestled in Downham Road in Haggerston, it’s only a few minutes walk from the Overground station and a brisk walk from Shoreditch, the popular East London destination. The gallery has also previously hosted a solo exhibition by Lily Bunney and a duo show by Shir Cohen and Gosia Kołdraszewska.
Sophie and Aleks write, “At a time in the world when the persecution of trans and gay people becomes the new normal, and our bodies are being invaded and policed, we stand together in queer joy. Pick up the magazine for 200 pages of really gay content, walk around our exhibition and blush a little. We’ll have gay cowboys, we’ll have girls peeing, we’ll have fur and squishy eclairs, we’ll have healing, communion, explicit content, butt-plugs, clubbing and tap dancing. Come celebrate gayness with us this Valentine’s Day at miłość gallery with terra firma.”
You can visit the ‘I’m so gay for you’ exhibition until the 15th of March. The gallery also has copies of the new issue of Terra Firma, ‘I’m so gay for you’, on sale on their website.
