Overview

The lull summoned in VOID is not emptiness but an interval premised on the possible, fulfilled through a nonbinary godhead imagining a newfangled world and ushering it into being by creating themself through gesture, expressivity, and movement. VOID's tropical futurist vision of the brown body in primordial space breaches imperial patriarchy's notions of not only power and beauty but also of existence and experience itself. Drawn from myths recounting the creation of the Philippine archipelago through queer + trans performance, VOID envisions a future that conjures embodiments of a nonbinary species of the gender-diverse realm. This vision is prefigured by a nonbinary god who dances their way into an ever-changing space.
