Tribute to a Queen: Flawless Sabrina
TUESDAY 15
A one-night event, this will be a rare glimpse into the life and mind of a creator whose multi-decade influence on queer identity will continue to capture the imaginations of artists for years to come. Featuring paintings, photographs, outfits, wigs, video, readings, and ephemera, this event will also offer a rare screening of the seminal 1968 film, “The Queen.”
The event will provide a historical context for Flawless Sabrina for the purpose of educational entertainment, beginning with early activism, which has continued throughout Flawless’ career, and, where possible, actual documentation from the archives will be displayed.
This will include press clippings, scribblings, paintings and photographs. This pioneering legend is still going strong, and there’s no better time to show the triumphant performer at her peak. Flawless will read from her soon to be published book, accompanied by writers and performers including Brandon Olson, Inbred Hybrid Collective, and Rami Shamir.
