Lazarus, the mastermind behind Queery This, is an award-winning fashion and wearable art designer whose practice spans social and street performance. The characters of Lazarus are his ‘children,’ birthing through a process of self discovery and release before merging into the world. These characters have stories, histories, dreams and visions of their own. For Lazarus, to costume and character-build is an acknowledgement of these children as cultural and phantasmagoric agents of the multiverse. 

Lazarus has a deep commitment to a waste-free arts practice and will bring some found and collected items. Participants should bring their own preferred materials, fabrics and tools. Places are limited to 20 people, so register to reserve a place!

Participants will be invited to return and showcase their costumes and characters during the After Walter Hops exhibition at Platform Arts on October 11 during the Salon season and ROAM festival on Little Malop street.
