SUMMARY:Our Living Record at Revolve Gallery
DESCRIPTION:A multimedia exhibit honoring queer and trans archives\, memory\, and resistance \nAsheville\, NC – Our Living Record\, a new exhibition from Southern Equality Studios – – the art program of The Campaign for Southern Equality\, on view starting July 10 through August 17\, 2025 at Revolve Gallery (821 Riverside Dr. Asheville\, NC 28801). This vibrant and deeply personal show features artwork from Southern LGBTQ+ community members and allies who explore preserving queer memory in the face of cultural erasure. \nThe exhibition includes photography\, sculpture\, projection\, ephemera\, and participatory archival interactive installations. Each piece reflects how personal objects\, imagery\, and memories connect to the broader story of LGBTQ+ resilience\, resistance\, and joy. \n“Queer and trans histories are often fragmented or excluded from dominant narratives\,” says curator Liz Williams. “Our Living Record asks: what happens when we tell our stories ourselves—through our photos\, our letters\, our zines\, our everyday rituals? This exhibition is a gathering of those fragments. A way to say: we were here\, we are here and we will sustain and remain.” \nFeatured artists include:\nLenny Kyriakoulis\, Kass Patterson \, Daniel Simone\, Crain Cutler\, Eduardo Moraes de Oliveira Barbosa\, Amanda Simons\, Lindsay Jones\, and Jeannie Regan \nThe exhibition also includes community-sourced materials\, family snapshots\, protest signs\, and objects from queer everyday life. An Archival Activation Event will take place on July 30\, featuring storytelling\, readings\, an interactive archive activation for WNC LGBTQIA+ Archive Project. \nArtists and community members were asked to submit personal photos\, letters\, or historical ephemera that could be projected onto them during their portrait session—creating an image that literally places history on the body. Each participant also sat for a filmed interview sharing why their items matter\, what stories need to be preserved\, and what message they want to pass on to future generations. \nOur Living Record is supported by Southern Equality Studios\, a project of the Campaign for Southern Equality. Revolve Gallery is located at 821 Riverside Drive #179 in Asheville’s River Arts District. Admission is free and open to the public during gallery hours. \nFor interviews\, press images\, or event information\, please contact Liz Williams at liz@southernequality.org.

SUMMARY:Becomyth - We Begin In Chaos - Night 3: Book of Evocation
DESCRIPTION:Night 3 | The Book of Evocation \nThe final installment enters the dreamworld of a young child on the edge of understanding. Through the lens of two reimagined Chinese creation myths\, The Book of Evocation explores the vulnerability\, wonder\, and failure that often accompany the creative act. As worlds flicker into form and fall apart again\, the performance evokes the deep inner work of becoming—and the courage it takes to begin\, again \nABOUT THE SERIES \nBecomyth: We Begin in Chaos is a performance art project created by Adam J. N. Keene and Langston Kelly that delves into the nature of beginnings—why they challenge us\, why they matter\, and what transformation takes place in the act of starting anew. Drawing from global creation myths—some of the oldest maps we have for navigating the unknown—Becomyth investigates “chaotic beginnings” as a form of mythological sensemaking: a tool for navigating uncertainty\, transformation\, and potential. \nBlending music\, myth\, and theatrical storytelling\, Keene and Kelly invite audiences on a cosmic journey where ancient stories are reborn and new myths take root. Each evening in the three-part series presents original performances inspired by global creation stories—fusing dreamlike worlds with powerful archetypes to ask: What does it mean to begin? And who do we become in the process?
