Shameless Light is a collaborative performance that began in 2016, one month after the election of Donald Trump. In our fury, we decided to use love as a form of resistance and radical action. Shameless Light is a performance of love letters by women identified queers and began in Carrizzozo, New Mexico at the Lyric Theatre. This documentation is from the first iteration of Shameless Light, which went on to become a part of a performative gesture before screening Strangely Ordinary This Devotion in later years. Included in the performance space is a projection of a looping video Kitchen Circle for Ackerman (2016). Shameless Light privileges love as a generative and unruly act through creating a space to listen to marginalized desire and love.

Night Swap: Everything Must Go
Sheilah Wilson and Dani Leventhal invite all to attend a one night only outdoor swap. Objects crafted by Wilson and Leventhal will be offered for exchange. This is a trade; our objects for your objects. (Swap items are anything that can be carried into the park) Over the course of the evening, you can witness the swap area transform from the original display to something created by the public. Art in the Open, Charlottetown, 2016.
