A public program in association with J Rowen O’Dwyer: DEVOTIONS, to a dirty queer home — a Mills Gallery exhibition.

 

In honor of artists and beloved community members Danielle Abrams and Chick Byrne, artist J Rowen O’Dwyer and death doula Leo Sun welcome folks into the gallery to sit in remembrance, and grief.

Queer grief is all around us, in lost connections to ancestors, in lost friends and lovers, in collective losses, and the acts of violence we witness each day. This space welcomes all types of grief and offers a space in community where all the emotions surrounding grief are welcome. In this gathering, we encourage members of the community to leave offerings on the altar in the gallery, share memories and stories, and processes together in this space.
