DJ set and party: Sonja Ismail
Love, Lust & Legacy: 40 Years of Queer Service to the Cause is the result of 4 decades creating images with people who exist outside the bi-polar binaries of sex and gender. Images that are not only documents of a ‘queer time and place’ but also iconic testaments to the love, lust and burning desire to defy the forces that seek to destroy, disrespect and de-activate us. From (Kathy) Acker to (Mojisola) Adebayo, (Barbara) Hammer to (Jack) Halberstam, (Isaac) Julien to (Derek)Jarman, (Pratibha) Parmar, (Paul) Preciado, (Leslie) Feinberg, (Zackie) Achmat, (Annie) Sprinkle, (James) Green and a great deal more, Volcano has connected and collaborated with them all.
