This installation recreates queer blak oases and pays homage to places of water, presented through a Blak Queer Futurism lens. With an emphasis on Blak joy, these areas are curated to reimagine a space of how Queer Mob come together, where we co-exist and where we can rest.
Enter through the adorned columns that pose as the gate, the banners hold the opening through wavy, viscous digital designs of the Collectives Drag personas. Patrons encouraged to take time to offer an exchange to the oasis and engage in a moment of reflection.
Enjoy the warmth of being held in this oasis; this space that exists out of safety stemming from a place of Blak Queer joy. Invited into our past and our future, indulge in sweet respite in the ephemeral sanctum of the exhibition.
Ethereal figures float in and out of the space, in calm perpetual motion, cycling through different rituals of before, now and in the tomorrows.
Opening Event: 26 September 2024, 6pm-8pm; all are welcome
