Something To Aim For

Our Listener went to Torso by at SEESAW | where creatives work and was thinking about:

"Ive seen exhibitions and performances at SeeSaw, its such a good canvas to create against. The room consists of some plain and brick walls, pairing the blank canvas to the possibilities of construction and creation.

Q***r live art is a display of what it means to feel both connection and disconnection to the body, environment, and identity. Torso embodied something greater that cannot be contained in our flesh." - STAF Listener

A Listener popped along to the performance of Clothes Swap last week

"There is a real sense that rawness is needed in telling q***r stories. That the dingy places we meet and the lack of glamour in actually curating community and its spaces is a necessary thing for us to feel a belonging" - STAF Listener
