Join us for the next New Lens on October 19, 7 p.m., at 21c Museum Hotel, featuring cellist Gabriel Cabezas and a world premiere from TJ Cole.
TAROT: A Guide to Queering Human Connection is for live cello, pre-recorded audio, and video collage, featuring audio stories from trans, queer, and polyamorous individuals in Louisville, Kentucky - all explored through the lens of Tarot. "Tarot becomes a framework for audio stories from a community of people who explore love and relationships in alternative ways. This piece began by recording audio stories from the local trans, queer, and poly communities about what it means to love and connect," says Cole about their work, "This piece is for anyone interested in exploring the messy, beautiful work of how and why we love."
Cole collaborated with queer performance artist Tigresse Bleu and trans video artist Joyce Barbour to create a 10-movement work that weaves together spoken-word audio, poetry, and video.
New Lens is free and open-to-the-public. There is limited, reserved seating for members. For questions about reserved seating call 502-814-6565 or email membership@lpm.org.
