***ABOUT PEEK!***
We’re sick of it. We’re sick of the snobbery and the wankery oozing our of art museums and galleries — and luckily we’re not the only ones. That’s why some of the good one’s have asked us to come shake it up with our performative tour PEEK! Live. PEEK! is a project using drag as a medium to break the rules using caricature, ritual and play.

But it’s not just us, we’re getting you involved too. These exhibitions are for ALL of us, not for the selected few. So let’s get together and be just a little inappropriate in the art space – don’t worry we give you *full* permission.

PEEK! Live is a part of Status Queer’s project PEEK! — where we capture reactions to our outrageous drag characters in public spaces in collaboration with photographer Elsa Groener (@elsagroener).

We know you’ve been working oh so hard darling but not to worry, CULT is here to take CARE of you. So cancel the spa day, put down the cucumbers and lay off the essential oils to get ready for a night filled with the bizarre, the exotic and the magnificent.

***Our Show – CULT of Care***

Queer solidarity and trans resistance is built on a foundation of care. We all need to care more, for each other and ourselves.

But the “care” we receive isn’t always the care we need, what do we do when “self-care” is weaponised against us? Does the scented candle in the staff lunchroom drown out the stench of your zero hour contract? How many bath bombs does it take to wash away the ugly words shouted at a public square? How do we respond when care becomes toxic? When what we need is fair pay but what our boss gets us is a pizza party?
These are the questions we’ll be exploring in our show CULT of Care.
So get ready and let our love wash over you.

3000 tickets, 13 parties, 3 years. SJUKT has been a wild ride, a warm hug and two moistened fingers hitting all the right spots.

So sack-off Eurovision and come bath in the communal fluids of your queer and trans comrades in this final goodbye to a good ol gay Gothenburg time.

LANGUAGE Bilingual: SV / EN

***THE DETAILS***
We’re coming to Linnéstadens bibliotek because we’ve got something to say: screw the idea that we “can’t draw” or that ‘’we’re not good enough’’ — we all deserve to make, to collaborate and to explore. This place is for us too, so let’s get our hands dirty, get stuck into some books and have some fun! <3

In this edition of Rebel Drawing we’ll be exploring different literary worlds by getting creative with our Together Tools – tools for making that need many hands at the same time to operate. Together we’ll be exploring our memories and connections to this city, each other and our favourite literary gems. 

Yes we will be playing, but don’t worry we take play very seriously. So come down and let’s get stuck into some bizarre, meaningful and stimulating making.

Once again for those in the back: No drawing experience, skill or talent necessary – this isn’t like drawing as you know it.

We won’t be getting too messy but we’ll be using ink so don’t wear anything too precious

***PRIORITY GROUPS***
As always priority groups are first in line to get workshop places. Read more about our priority groups on our website : https://statusqueer.com/accessibility/

***DETALJERNA***
Vi kommer till Linnéstadens bibliotek därför att vi har nått att säga: fan ta idén att vi “kan inte teckna” eller att “vi inte räcker till” – vi kan alla skapa och utforska. Den här platsen är till för oss också, så kom och få händerna smutsiga och dyk in era favoritböcker!<3

I denna workshop av Rebel Drawing ska vi upptäcka olika litterära världar genom att skapa tillsammans med varandra och använda vårt kreativa Together Tools’ – verktyg som behöver flera händer på en gång för att användas. Vi utforskar våra minnen och relationer till vår stad, oss själva, varandra och våra litterära favoriter. 

Visst ska vi leka, men oroa inte dig, vi tar lek på allvar. Så stig på och engagera dig i detta bisarra och stimulerande skapande.

En gång till för de längst bak: ingen tidigare erfarenhet  med teckning behövs – det här är inte teckning som du känner det.

Vi ska inte bli för smutsiga, men vi ska använder bläck så ha inte på dig dina favoritkläder!

~~ THE SERIES ~~
We queer and trans people come from a long line of boundary-crossers, norm-breakers and resistors. But our heritage is constantly being written and rewritten. What survives has been filtered by all of the oppressive -isms which continue to plague our society today. 

Where we come from, how we got here and who came before us are key questions in figuring out who we are, and who we are not, right now in the present day. That’s why heritage matters.

~~ THIS WORKSHOP ~~
Scientists throughout the ages have observed the world around us through the eyes of our sexist, racist, queerphobic society. Male giraffes clearly have sex with each other for power and domination purposes only. Wolves are led by an ultimate, commanding and (obviously) male alpha. Females are the gatekeepers of reproduction, males are the active pursuers.

These ideas have all been proven to be false, flawed and incomplete. Yet with our patriarchal society, focus on studying male behaviour and over representation of male species in natural history museums around the world, so it’s no wonder our societal bias is found in our reading of the natural world.

In this workshop we’ll be imaging new and bizarre creatures based on our experiences and memories. Together we’ll claim our place in the museum whilst exploring ourselves, our memories and each other.

We Were There is a project by Status Queer – A Gothenburg-based initiative using art and culture to build a more inclusive society and a more diverse, sustainable and supportive LGBTQ+ community. For more on Status Queer and all our other projects, see our website!

You can take the night of honey and let the PROFESSIONALS show you how it’s done. 

So call in sick, bring your work bestie and get your ceremonial robes on, it’s time for another sizzling night of indoctrination.

***CULT of the Professionals***
As usual we’ll be serving you a delicious drag buffet – from EPA-dunk raggare to call-centre divas, little burlesque boy billionaires to deranged priests – only the weirdest and most wonderful for you, our beautiful CULT attendees.

So roll up roll up, witness the spectacle of our latest collective obsession: PROFESSIONALISM.

Who gets the honour of being called a professional? 

Are the politicians hoovering up powder in the party headquarters really more professional than the people who hoover the floors after them? 

Why is sex work in Sweden a dishonest living, but its legit to brag on your Linkd-In about being a so-mi manager for a high flying fast fashion company built on the backs of slave-labour?

Why do the teletubbies never let their faithful labourer Noonoo eat their precious tubby-toast, even when they live in a world where tubby-toast is in absolute abundance? 

***CULT collective***
CULT is a Gothenburg-based collective of kings, queens and creatures using drag to knock your socks off, get you screaming for more and begging to stop all at once. We’re here to build a family of true believers, and our hands and arms are fully extended ready to welcome you. 

The queer agenda has never been stronger.

THE WORKSHOP
We’re here with a playful and thoughtful workshop using our Together Tools – these are large scale tools for making and drawing that need many hands to operate at once. As adults we forget how to play. Yet play can be a great tool for exploring ourselves and our relationships to others. In our art we focus on making connections between strangers by exploring our own stories and memories. 

We need a broader community that cuts across lines of segregation, so come on bergsjön let’s get drawing together!

This workshop is for adults and older youth and open to anybody! We – Status Queer – are an artists duo from the LGBTQ+ community, but this workshop is open to all. We want all kinds of people to come, feel welcome, share and learn from each other, and get to make and play at the same time!

Rebel Drawing is a project by Status Queer – A Gothenburg-based initiative using art and culture to build a more inclusive society and a more diverse, sustainable and supportive LGBTQ+ community. For more on Status Queer and all our other projects, see our website!

WORKSHOPPEN
Vi är här med en till lekfull och eftertänksam workshop med våra ‘Together Tools’ – dessa verktyg för att skapa och måla i stor skala behöver flera händer på en gång för att användas. Som vuxna glömmer vi bort hur man leker. Men lek kan vara ett viktigt och kraftigt verktyg att utforska oss själva samt att skapa förbindelser med varandra genom att utforska våra egna berättelser och minnen. Vi behöver en bredare community som förenar oss över de sprickor av segregation som sliter oss isär. 

Så kom igen Bergsjön, låt oss samskapa!

Denna workshop är menad för vuxna och äldre ungdomar. Vi – Status Queer – är en konstnärsduo från hbtq+ communityt men denna workshop är öppen för alla. Vi vill att alla olika slags personer ska kunna komma och känna sig välkomna, dela med sig och lära sig från varandra – och kunna skapa och ha kul på samma gång!

Rebel Drawing är ett projekt från Status Queer – en göteborgs-baserad initiativ som använder konst och kultur för att bygga en mer inkluderande samhälle och en mer divers, hållbart och stöttande hbtq+ community. Läs mer på dem och alla sina projekt på deras hemsida.
