Invocation of the Queer Spirits
AA Bronson and Peter Hobbs
New Orleans, LA
October 31, 2008
AA Bronson and Peter Hobbs’ Invocation of the Queer Spirits invokes historical queer and marginalized practices as a way to heal the past, critique the present, and project a more creative future.
Invocation of the Queer Spirits will at once “christen” the latest rebirth of New Orleans as a cultural capital while evoking the spirits of the marginalized populations that have played a formative role in shaping New Orleans’s culture. The event marks the site as a place of future creativity, while infusing it with a sense of the city’s ghostly past. In addition to the ritual invoking the spirits, the artists will make a vow concerning their lives (and creative lives in particular) for the coming year.
