ANDIE FLORES
ANDIE FLORES (b. 1990) (she/her) is a performance artist in Austin, Texas, who uses embarrassment as a medium for investigating hyper, almost obsessive, visibility in a racialized body across barriers of border, history, and capital. Her practice works to unsettle categorical, site-specific expectations of genres of performance (femininity, Latinidad, drag, citizenry) and aims to recontextualize the mechanisms required to do the work of the absurd. Flores creates experimental live performances that pair identity and comedic culture moments with over-exaggerated, often grotesque shapes and sounds. She is fascinated by the urgent task of world-building at the edge of the limits of art-making.
Her work has been shown at Bushwig, Presa House Gallery, The Museum of Human Achievement, Ivester Contemporary, MASS Gallery, Future Front Film Fest, Contrast Film Festival, Fusebox Festival, and The Dallas Latino Cultural Center; and her writing has appeared in fields, Precog, Jezebel, and Remezcla. She was named one of Remezcla’s ‘40 Emerging, Texas-based Artists to Know’ in 2020, and made Glasstire’s ‘Best of 2021’ list. She debuted her first solo stage show, To Get There… You Must Undergo… A Radical Transformation at OUTsider Festival in February 2023 and produced a sold-out 6-show run at Crashbox in November 2023. She was voted best performance artist and among the top three art writers in Concept Animals’ Community Favorites poll of December 2023.

LINH LE
Linh Le (she / her) works with performative activism and fights for a just world for life on earth. At the moment, she explores the sensuousness and philosophy of species, making rituals for the diversity of life.
Linh Le is of a new generation of artists who with their own bodies are exploring the possibility of finding a balance between a growing desperation in a world of polycrisis and maintaining the belief in a different way of being human / species.
As a child of freedom fighters who came to Denmark as boat refugees from Vietnam, and as a witness to their struggles in Danish society, Linh Le is strongly called to free herself through dance, to challenge the norms, to transcend boundaries and explore how the body can act, transform and demand space for the less heard voices.
Linh Le is educated in Aesthetics and Culture from Aarhus University and Performance Design & Planning from Roskilde University. She is co-founder and member of the performance climate activist group Becoming Species which in close alliance with Extinction Rebellion and Embassy of the Species Copenhagen has made several performative actions in public space to amplify nature’s diverse voices.

QALEIDOSCOPE QUEER FILM AND PERFORMANCE
WELCOME TO QALEIDOSCOPE
QUEER FILM AND PERFORMANCE ON TOUR 2024 – THE BALTICS RIGA • GOTHENBURG • TALLINN • TURKU • VILNIUS • COPENHAGEN
Screening program 2 (of 2) see list of screenings here: Baltic film programs
See the full programme of films here: https://queercitycinema.ca/tour2024-baltics/?events=copenhagen
QALEIDOSCOPE QUEER FILM AND PERFORMANCE ON TOUR 2024 – THE BALTICS – will feature Queer and QTBIPOC (Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, Persons of Color) film and performance art that explore, question and play with identity to propose and investigate diverse ways of looking at sexuality, gender and race.
As the titles suggests, QALEIDOSCOPE – will be a well-textured assemblage of images, ideas, and realities that collide in fantastical, personal, and playful ways to produce an ever-changing, multi-faceted queer film and performance art viewing experience.
Some of the films focus on image, sound and abstract narratives; others present information, facts, and queerforward realities; while others share the pleasure and pain of individual and collective identities. Even though experimental and artistically rigorous artworks are in abundance, and heavy hitting and thoughtful issues and topics such as feminism, race, racism, class, identity politics, community, colonization, conceptual art, politics, religion, violence, popular culture, gender and of course sexuality are provided for their important role in providing awareness and insight on many levels, transgressive and subversive play is also an important characteristic of several of the films on the tour. This is in keeping with Queer City Cinema’s mandate to reflect hallmarks of queer image making — in this case, film with a decidedly tongue-in-cheek disposition and sensibility; injecting the programming with moments of intelligent, incisive humour – film that pleases and appeases.
QALEIDOSCOPE was conceived to promote the artistic vision of Queer and QTBIPOC filmmakers and performance artists whose work might not otherwise be shown within these urban centres in The Baltics. These works, though falling under the banner of ‘queer’, remain relevant to the broader artistic communities in each of the five cities, not only because of the subject matter broached but also because many of the artists represented float amongst multiple disciplines within the context of the film, visual and performance art. In this sense, artistic rigour and the fluidity of experience are paramount in the programming for the tour.
This will be the tenth tour of Queer City Cinema’s programming. This tour follows QALEIDOSCOPE – Queer Film On Tour 2023 Canada and QALEIDOSCOPE – Queer Film On Tour 2023 The Balkans.

Jessica Karuhanga: ground and cover me
Jessica Karuhanga
Artist talk @ 19:30 followed by performance @ 20:30
ground and cover me engages with the physical and figurative contours of the institutional space. Karuhanga enacts gradual movements that are intuitive and deliberate responses to the walls, windows and ground. This piece is a choreographic rupture to institutional spaces that otherwise insist upon Black Queer people’s disappearance.
