Opening: Monster made me trans and other propane fables

A solo exhibition by Arrow Bisset 🏹

23 - 26 October at 74 Brisbane street ⛪

Opening event Friday 23 October ✰

Monster made me trans and other propane fables is a camp and moody top secret club house; a sanctuary for identity, folklore, queer time and the void. Step through the veil into Ultra Urban Trash Myths such as Monster Lore, which leaks into suburban legends such as ‘monster made me trans’. Sacreligious, sugary and crass, these subcultural folklores are an invitation to find a remedy for fear through transformation and reclamation.

Curated by Laurie Oxenford and Cullen Butters.

Arrow Bisset (they/them) is a multidisciplinary artist living in Lutruwita/Tasmania. Their practice includes painting, drawing, poetry, repurposed objects and textiles. Rooted in diy culture and community they examine themes of trans~ness, queer identity, sickness and memory. Using humour and nostalgia they create a language to help navigate, process and understand the world around them.
