In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, CAM moved its First Friday celebrations online—the first iteration featuring a line-up celebrating LGBTQ+ Pride! Hosted by St. Louis’s own Maxi Glamour, this event takes inspiration from Liz Johnson Artur’s series of photographs taken at the East London club night PDA (Public Displays of Affection), a space for queer and non-binary expression and experimental DJs.
Featuring:
// An intro from CAM Executive Director Lisa Melandri
// Art at Home: Tape Resist Paintings — In this painting demonstration, explore how colors can express our experience and identity, including a closer look at the colors in various LGTBQ+ flags for inspiration. Please gather masking tape, watercolor or acrylic paint, and either a canvas or paper backing prior to start.
// Artists on Art — Host Maxi Glamour discusses Liz Johnson Artur’s PDA series with Joss Barton, a writer, photographer, journalist, and artist documenting queer and trans life and love in St. Louis.
// Musical performances by Bates and Låda
