Join Empire City Men's Chorus for a provocative evening and private viewing of After Our Bodies Meet: From Resistance to Potentiality, curated by Alexis Handwerker Heller at the Leslie+Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art. We are also proud to announce special guests Pauline Park, President and Co-Founder of Queens Pride House, and Jerry Kajpust, Deputy Director of External Relations at Leslie+Lohman. Both will be speaking about their work and the tie-ins to the exhibit.
After Our Bodies Meet is "an exhibition of queer artists who create work in resistance to body-centered oppression and invisibility, beginning in the 1970s to today. Themes of reproduction/pleasure, violence, beauty, and reimagining/futurity will be explored as they relate to the physical form." The curator has a particular passion for bringing attention to communities and issues often cast outside of the maintsream.
ECMC's upcoming Spring 2015 concert series Transfigurations will also present compelling experiences of human change through the artistic lens of choral music. All proceeds from the gallery event will directly fund Transfigurations and will allow ECMC to maintain an artistic response and community dialogue about pressing issues of our time.
Admission is $75 and includes an open bar of white and sparkling wine, cocktails, and catered hors d'oeuvres.
ECMC depends on your support, but more importantly, we embrace the opportunities that would personally connect our audience with ECMC's membership, its board, and its artistic director in a relaxed environment outside of the performance hall.
Come for a night of art, a night to relax and to socialize--we wouldn't miss it.
