Description: A revised edition of Bells and Sirens commissioned by Sibikwa Arts Centre in 2023, this piece delves into the vibrant yet precarious world of queer club culture. It captures the sanctuary the club scene provides for young queer individuals, juxtaposed with the harsh realities they face outside this temporary refuge. Bells and Sirens 2 explores the tension between the freedom found in the club and the constraints imposed by societal norms.
