Ritual Slaughterer: Isabella Hone-Saunders

This project is a multi-layered examination of the intersections of Judaism and queerness. It engages Jewish culture and ritual and autobiographical/ auto historical study to explore the formation of my own experience as a queer person/ settler with Jewish ancestry. This project builds upon three years of self-led research with focus on the continuities and discontinuities of ritual across different subcultures, their malleability and their potential to be adapted to suit marginalised relationships to spirituality. Ritual Slaughterer will investigate queer club culture, by way of examining the commonalities between a place of worship and a nightclub, Jewish migration to Australia and transgressive readings of Judaism and associated rituals.

Opening Night: Thursday 17th November from 6-8pm
Artist Talk: Saturday 3rd December from 12-2pm
