The House Wears Our Memory Like Skin is a site-responsive offering—a ritual of remembrance, transformation, and queer imagination. We are intervening in the land, in time, in memory.
This project is an homage to the places that shaped us, the people who saved us, and the ghosts that haunt and hold us. It is our love letter to chosen family, queer ancestors, abandoned objects, and the stories written into the shorelines and shadows of Staten Island.
Alice Austen House—once a home, now a historic LGBTQ+ landmark—serves as a grounding point. We scatter personal relics across its grounds: driftwood shrines, embedded household objects, hair in the hills, pantyhose stuffed with memory. We reflect on queer solitude, secrecy, lineage, and the process of becoming.
We ask: What do we inherit? What do we carry? What are we ready to leave behind?
This is not a monument. This is a living archive.
A temporal, embodied queer spell.
This project was made possible by the DCLA Art Fund Grant.
Jenno Snyder and I are happy to present the very first performance of BITCH BOYS. Come this Saturday, October 11 @ 5 PM. Dolls. Boobs. Whack jobs. What more can you ask? The answer is nothing more. You will be satiated.
