Artist Yozmit will create a wearable art installation as a performance shrine in the Long Hall/Plummer Park, one of the historic LGBTQ places in West Hollywood. It will be an altar/sacred space in remembrance of legendary *Leigh Bowery* a costume designer, performance artist and a club promoter who pioneered performance with an animalistic and postmodern take on drag. This project will have many different layers of materials and vignette performances related to Yozmit’s personal memories and influences of experiencing life as a LGBTQ identified artist in South Korea and America. During the exhibition period (June 25 through June 29, 1-5pm), there will be surprise performances and on June 28, there will be an outdoor performance event in the courtyard of Long Hall. (6-9pm).
This event is part of the City of West Hollywood's One City One Pride LGBTQ Arts Festival which takes place from May 22-June 30. For more info and to see a full list of events please visit www.weho.org/pride or follow via social media @WeHoArts.
