SUMMARY:Queer Prom at The Land School
DESCRIPTION:Serving as the official launch party for Gray Center’s Portable Gray\, Issue 16: “Costume and Collapse\,” edited by Leah Feldman. The evening celebrates queerness\, artistic experimentation\, and the myriad ways we embody and express ourselves. The night will feature a reception\, a catwalk of costumes designed during an earlier workshop facilitated by artist Uta Bekaia\, and a dance party spun by DJ Duane Powell\, alongside interstitial interview moments with journal contributors. Beverages and bites will be available throughout the night. \nAll are welcome! Come in costume! \nTickets are free\, with a suggested donation of $15. Donors who give at any amount will receive a copy of Portable Gray. Every dollar directly supports artists and ongoing music programming at The Land School.\nMore on Portable Gray 16: Costumes And Collapse \nGuest-edited by Leah Feldman\, our spring 2026 edition explores the continued life of the wearable art\, as at once a record of the past—imprinted by the presence of the body—as it fashions forms of survival in its stitches\, patterns\, and silhouettes\, generating armor to shelter fabulous possibilities for future-becoming. Featuring contributions by: Alia Ali\, Uta Bekaia\, Rikki Byrd\, Nick Cave\, Stephnie Cristello\, Rachel Dedman\, Thomas F. DeFrantz\, Hoda El Shakry\, Leah Feldman\, Jonathan Flatley\, Theaster Gates\, Omar Kholeif\, Dato Koridze\, Catriona MacLeod\, Matt Morris\, Tim Nicholson\, Duane Powell\, Dieter Roelstraete\, Slavs and Tatars\, and Kris Trujillo. The issue also features our latest reviews in PGR by: Isaac Bjorke\, Annette LePique\, Nicky Ni\, Pia Singh\, Regina Victor\, Erik Wenzel\, and Ellen Wiese.
