Queer Prom at The Land School

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.

All are welcome! Come in costume!

Tickets 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.

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.
