A special feature will be the first and seminal showing of an installation exploring the gay male experience in Old Guard Leather, representing the first stage of a one to two year project with the end goal of a large scale, interactive installation for local and international exhibition.

Over time, it will branch out into a variety of sexual, historical and spiritual topics with performance and evenings of storytelling.
