@annaehrenstein and
@sunny_pfalzy are happy to invite you to HOLD ME GRIEVING as part of
@maxim_gorki_theater queer week - June 20-23
It is Anna’s and Sunny’s premiere to curate an exhibtion together and we are so blessed to work with many talented artists and team to reflect upon personal, collective , global and transcendental grief and share soundwaves and arms to hold each other - rituals with which we can commemorate those whose histories have been violently extinguished, share our loss upon (heteronormative) life paths that we have chosen not to pursue, and find togetherness as we witness life-streamed g3nocldes and current crises.
