About the work
The exhibition features 32 portraits, indigenous crafts, immersive sound, video and light-scapes all woven into a multi-sensory love letter to the resilience, beauty and multi-dimensionality of black queer people. It is part-celebration, part-protest and an investigation of queer narratives through time in honour of both visible and unseen ancestors. Through intentional arrangement of lighting, space and the invitation to bring to the shoot music, stories and objects that connect them most to themselves and their ancestry, Jade’s subjects become part of a ritual of reclamation, self-determination and rebalancing black queer diasporic dysphoria. We are fundraising for Micro Rainbow, a social enterprise that provides safe housing to LGBTQI asylum seekers.
