Opening: Lucas Morneau’s Ballad of the Queer Mummer

Sunbury Shores 139 Water Street, St Andrews

Join us for the opening of Lucas Morneau's solo exhibition, Ballad of the Queer Mummer, on October 10, 5 - 7 pm. Finger food and a cash bar will be available. Lucas Morneau’s Ballad of the Queer Mummer critiques homophobia in Canadian and Newfoundland culture by addressing similarities between drag art, and the Newfoundland Christmas tradition of Mummering, the act of going door to door in costume and entertaining neighbours. By way of Morneau’s alter-ego, The Queer Mummer, photographic diptychs and crocheted costumes are used to celebrate how mummering is a queer performance act, blurring the gender binary.
