A constellation of nothings: In the chasm of the swamp where I was birthed, the crocodile’s mother urged breath into my mind. She pushed through my ribs and scrubbed the mirror rocking over my lungs into a blinking star of names. I am a catalog of seasons and waters and the names of goddesses that I will never meet but will forever hold.

🪔⚔️🪞‘The Birds Sang Until the Sky Broke’🪞⚔️🪔
🎠 Curated by myself, this exhibition is @tangent_projects , in conjunction with @artnouprimeravisio featuring works by Ali Arévalo, Sangre de María, Lotte Frances, Matuta, Annika Sunne & me. 🪡 I’m so blessed to have been able to work with such an incredible group of artists 🔱
The Birds Sang Until the Sky Broke embodies a fantastical, sacred, queer utopia, home to a world where joy holds suffering, where love and trauma intertwine. Through a richly layered and nonlinear narrative, the artists manifest a fleeting world of our own–an ephemeral sanctuary that embraces all who step within it.
The works carry an undercurrent of the past—of wounds and wisdom—revealing how harnessed histories fuel radical imagination. The Birds Sang Until the Sky Broke becomes a site of exaltation, yet not without spectral echoes. Joy and suffering, past and present, destruction and rebirth—all coexist within this sacred space.
This exhibition is an invitation: to step into a queer utopia where community is both refuge and revolution, where art reclaims and reimagines, and where the act of storytelling becomes an act of divine transformation.
The show is running from June 13 - July 30, I hope you can stop by and say hello 🕯️
Thank you to @fotosbynicolas for the lovely photos! 🪽
