Starling Skies, an art show with trans kids & adults
Starling Skies gives love to trans kids by showing their art alongside art by trans adults. A small creature when alone, starlings come together in thousands to create complex and mesmerizing shapes that flicker and evolve, confusing and intimidating predators. We hope this exhibition can be one place where our community flocks around trans kids to support and protect them, while also offering them a chance to shine in their full, splendent power.
Co-curated by Al Dettmann and Carter Shocket

KINETIC KIN
April 18 - May 30
Warren St Marks Community Garden, 623 Warren Street between b/w 4th & 5th Avenue
A show by Neptune in June
Kinetic Kin features work by 15 trans artists spanning ceramics, metalwork, fiber, assemblage, resin sculpture, installation, and panel painting. The exhibition follows in the long history of gardens serving as queer sanctuaries, as rendezvous points and action organizing hubs, and as an evolving source of coded language—claimed and reclaimed. The queer garden stands as a utopia of tended, though unbridled, growth and commingling.
Intimate and large-scale sculptures, campy imagery, and playful installations find a beatific home amongst the fruit trees, blossoms, and chickens at WSM garden. Including work by Earth Ængel, Hannah Apuzzo, Goldfinch Bolton, Sofia Klimkowski Arango, Cynthia Chang, Lily Erb, Hex Geissinger, Morgan King, Ren Liu, Sky Maggiore, Brezaja Monet, Crater Powers, SK Reed, Liv Sciford, Faye Thompson, Bea Willemsen, and DW Zinsser.

Gender Mend, a group exhibition amplifying works of transgender artists in the context of craft. Gender Mend explores the ideas of what we, as gender expansive persons, work to recontextualize about our personhood, our histories, our bodies, and the ways in which we are viewed. We offer the value of our past experiences as not something to be forgotten, but rather to be examined, maintained, and mended to transform what may have once been the source of our pain into something tangibly affirming.
Curated by Milo Godfrey
