Ground Queero Details
Grounded in craft, our projects have always been disruptive of definition. In that spirit, our vision of "queer" is a fusion of the traditional and transgressive meanings of the word ... as well as a modern reclaiming of gender, orientation and disability "otherness". Our first performance project was a fusion of ideas: Emerging artists (old and young) - Established artists (old and young) performance and literature in mutual celebration. At the time, multi-generational, multi disciplinary platforms were not available, so we created our own.Ground Queero continues to be the platform for many ground-breaking projects: From graphic novels that are performed, to live Japanese suspension bondage supporting poetry, to Artificial Intelligence animated literature ... Multi Media/Social Media as virtual performance space ... in other words, Ground Queero is a convent for the unconventional.
