It has become a tradition that XYZ gives space for some the most interesting gay-identifying artists to respond to a theme.
This year, in Presence (Performance), each artist has approached this differently, from matter of fact, to exploring that which is hidden, to drag of various kinds.
A little edgy at times, fun and beautiful at other times.
Part of Midsumma Festival.
