Bloodlines is a heartfelt tribute to LGBTQIA+ artists, including Leigh Bowery, Robert Mapplethorpe, Keith Haring and Sylvester, that continue to inspire the practices of The Huxleys and countless artists working today.

The show is a multi art form exhibition utilising the artists’ skills in costume design, performance and photography, featuring large-scale photographic works and video art that honour and worship legendary artists lost to HIV/AIDS. The Huxleys work evokes the colourful rebellious and creative spirit of these outwardly LGBTIQA+ artists that helped shift the worlds of queer art and culture into new realms.

The exhibition is designed as a joyous sparkling séance, celebrating queer excellence. Interpreting each artist’s influence and oeuvre in a uniquely Huxley fashion. Bloodlines will feature large scale photographic work, video art, music, and a huge queer performative celebration.
