Ladies Lounge - Up Late

Kirsha Kaechele

Presented by Experience Gold Coast through the EGC Arts Fund

Sat 2 & Fri 8 Aug
Ladies Lounge - Up Late

Ladies Lounge - Up Late

On just two special evenings, artist and curator Kirsha Kaechele’s opulent, subversive installation throws open its doors for Ladies Lounge Up Late, expect a richly layered program of live art, performance, poetry, and lavish delights.

Ladies Lounge Up Late invites you to immerse yourself in an evening of bold and transformative performance. Across the night, the Lounge will be filled with poetic incantations, intimate acts, and embodied revelries from some of the country’s most fearless contemporary artists.

Yes, some boys will be let in - for domestic arts lessons and other reparations.

Come dressed to lounge. Stay for the liberation.
