Rachel Mars

Your Sexts are Shit – Older Better Letters

Rachel Mars: Your Sexts Are Shit

Performer and writer Rachel Mars considers the queer female body, focusing on artists such as Frida Kahlo and Georgia O'Keeffe, who feature in our exhibition Modern Couples.

How do we write ourselves and for whom? In this tender, funny and shocking solo show, Mars triangulates the sex and love letters of long dead artists, contemporary sexts and a meditation on the construction of the queer female body. Including letters from James Joyce, Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keeffe, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Charles Bukowski, Radclyffe Hall and others.
