PLAY, LAY, AYE | ACT II is a reorientation of GeoVanna Gonzalez's installation, “PLAY, LAY, AYE”, A modular sculpture examining the way public art can be used to create spaces that are more inclusive and queer.
In this project, Gonzalez explores the ability for something or someone to be simultaneously in flux and stable. Highlighted by the structures’ endless orientations, PLAY, LAY, AYE honors the intersectional realities of our identities. In each presentation, performance responds to this duality. Here, we hold space for artists and activists, POC, womxn, queer, trans and gender non-conforming folks, who navigate their art as a form of self-empowerment.
For this iteration, the installation is laid out as a platform to navigate movement. Vogue performances from the House of Ninja will hone in on how dance is a simulacrum for freedom and will be followed by a Dj set from Pam Jones.
