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 they co-exist and where they 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 are encouraged to take time to offer an exchange to the oasis and engage in a moment of reflection.

Artists include Elijah Money, Stone Turner and Caleb Thaiday.

Opening night on Thursday 26 September from 6pm-8pm; all are welcome.
