Propagation Project

About

Propagation Project brings together t loving, Genevieve Erin O’Brien, and Denise Uyehara — three queer artists of color —  to develop interdisciplinary work, straddling performance and social practice that defies categorization. They disrupt notions of gender, embrace failure and embody resilience.  They explore memory and possibilities, while propagating small acts of liberation to create beautiful, queer futures.

EZ Bake

In these tumultuous socio-political and pandemic times, EZ Bake “queers” traditional domesticity to create radical resistance, challenging notions that baking is merely a form of self-care, but also a form of individual and community  liberation. EZ Bake is a performative installation that invites the viewer to remix, stretch, knead, and perhaps transform their queerness.
