SKIN

November 12, 2025

Image description: A performer sits on a blue bench, their face and most of their body covered by a blue sleeping bag. Their hands and one foot, the only parts of them that are visible, are tense, extended wide and folding in towards their shrouded body. Behind them, out of focus, a second dancer sits behind a sleeping bag in a similar position. Around them both, the ground is scattered with large grey sheets.

His flat chest is bare, and he wears a full skirt of gold brocade and lace.

Facing away, the figure holds the garment open, letting the light shine through the delicate cloth.

JEZEBEL

November 07, 2025

Image description: A Black woman straddles a low-rider bicycle with gold spokes and long shiny handlebars. Dressed in a matching crisp white crop top and short shorts, she looks out to the audience with her mouth open, as though she's in the middle of shouting "hey!".
