The day we brought the Red Carpet Cat Walk experience to B16. We deserve luxury too.
Open streets, green spaces, places to be ourselves, warm houses, good services, healthy futures. The carpet featured reservoir realness, bat extravaganza, parisian glamazon, gingham god, Miss Venezuela, pshycadelic prince and many more
Massive thank-you to my collaborator in crime Eric Scutaro and Queerside and all our our adorable neighbours. All clothes/designs were constructed using old clothes donated by people living on the street. Retrofitting our style and bodies into statement pieces about our street and its identity.
Commissioned by the @civic_square dream fund.
Shout out to @calliesportfolio@immykaur@civic_square@_singamajig_ for some of the photos and the continued support 🌈
And love to my dearest b16 Queens @deshaun60 and @neoliberalizard for all the energy and keeping the project alive. Could not have done it without you both.
“We’ve been so inspired by the joyful catwalk by @gavin_j_rogers + @ericscutaro demonstrating the love, confidence, strength and beauty in who we are that we must invest in if we want to build amazing homes, streets and communities. Has the circular economy ever felt more fierce?” (CIVIC Square, 2023)
