Glitter in the Cracks
Glitter in the Cracks
Over seven days, a collective of artists transforms a shared environment into a living space for creativity in performance, movement, and collaboration. Come for the drag, dance, and ritual—stay for the unexpected moments where art and community meet.
We are a collective of queer multidisciplinary performance artists coming together to create a seven-day platform of shared expression, experimentation, and support. Through performance, movement workshops, visual art, and other offerings, we invite the public into a space where process is valued over perfection, and where collaboration is at the heart of creation.
This platform is rooted in a spirit of resourcefulness and mutual care. With minimal production and a DIY approach, we focus on bringing each artist’s vision to life through collective effort. Every member of the group is both creator and supporter—performing, facilitating, documenting, holding space, or assisting behind the scenes as needed. It’s a living model of artistic interdependence.
Throughout the seven days, audiences can expect a diverse and evolving program that includes drag, dance, performance art, long durational works, pop culture references, music, and participatory experiences. Our goal is not to present finished works, but to offer honest glimpses into creative processes—works in progress, raw ideas, and spontaneous moments of expression.
This gathering responds to a broader context of limited resources with a clear message: creativity thrives in community. Art does not require grand stages or large budgets; it emerges from connection, intention, and presence. Through this platform, we celebrate art as a way of living, perceiving, reflecting, and engaging with the world around us.
What unites us is a shared belief in the value of artistic practice—in its many forms—as a way to explore identity, foster dialogue, and imagine new possibilities. We welcome audiences not just as viewers, but as participants in a dynamic, ever-changing space of expression and exchange.
This is an invitation: to witness, to move, to feel, and to be part of something that unfolds in real time.
