This January, Dani and Sheilah ReStack present Shameless Light, a video installation to be shown concurrently at Camden Art Centre and Mimosa House.
Shameless Light is an ongoing performance that invites lesbian and queer identified women and non-binary people to read love letters they have written, under red neon lights. Shameless Light was begun in 2016 in Carizzozo, New Mexico after the US election. Since then, letters have been written, and read, by community members at the Wexner Center in Columbus, OH, Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, NY, Leslie Lohman Project Space in NY, Athena Grand, Athens, OH, TCU Fort Worth Contemporary Arts, Texas and UIC, Chicago, IL. Shameless Light privileges love as a generative, unruly and potentially radical act. It is a venue for queer desire.
Produced by Camden Art Centre and presented in partnership with Mimosa House, the installation will screen concurrently at Camden Art Centre and Mimosa House through January 2023.
The film contains descriptions of explicit sexual content.
