Take a wild trip through the pop culture landscape with a Warholian alien guide. Stay tuned after the presentation for a live Q&A with Kelly via Vimeo.

HYSTERIA, a performance installation work reconfigured for virtual presentation, finds award-winning director and choreographer Raja Feather Kelly continuing his ongoing study of pop culture and its displacement of queer Black subjectivity.

Picking up where his 2018 performance work UGLY (Black Queer Zoo) left off, Kelly resituates himself as a glamorous, extraterrestrial entity—both alien to the world and wholly consuming its pop cultural byproducts. HYSTERIA marks the collapse of fiction into fact, tracking the subsequent inner turmoil, confusion, and mania that the artist sets out to exorcise.

Kelly introduces the presentation live on June 2 starting at 5 PM EST and participates in a Q&A afterward; HYSTERIA remains on our site through June 18.
