Curators' Insights:
- Matthew Chesney: “Horror is a genre defined by slippery emotions and shifting alliances, offering a kaleidoscopic experience for those labelled as real-life monsters. It is thriving today—more mainstream, accepted, and respected than ever.”
- Jazz Swali: “Horror provides a powerful lens to explore themes of identity, diversity, and mental health. These pillars are central to our curatorial vision, aligning horror with contemporary societal issues.”
