‘A Little Bit Larger Than Life: A Painted Installation by Rory Midhani’

About

Rory Midhani will be transforming the walls and ceiling of AKA’s exhibition space into a full room painted installation. Expect energetic queer and trans characters dancing and frolicking with one and other painted all over the walls. In bold black lines he will cover the space with figures that are, in size and in character, all just a little bit larger than life. In the society we live in trans and queer people are often conditioned not to take up too much space- in this installation though the queers will be taking up loads of space, as they will be painted big, loud and proud.
