Rebecca Swan Is Here!

Acclaimed mixed media artist, Rebecca Swan from Aotearoa / New Zealand is in New York to launch ” Assume Nothing ” – a searingly beautiful book celebrating gender diversity. This work has been aptly described by Art News New Zealand as: “Touchingly intimate yet powerful no holds barred approach . . . tremendous tenderness”.

The Tank

354 W. 45th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues.

New York City

Tickets: $10

“Assume Nothing” is also an exhibition and film honoring gender diversity across cultures and continents – and resonates with the lanauage and music of Aotearoa and the Pacific. Rebecca’s portraits and her working relationship with some of those photographed have been documented by award-winning film-maker Kirsty MacDonald. This one night event is sure to open your heart and mind, make you laugh and cry, and leave you with an expanded sense of what’s possible. It is an intoxicating cocktail of stunning performances, teasers from Assume Nothing the film and passionate insights from Rebecca into the heart of this 15 year project.

Featuring:

Jack Byrne – performer, trans activist

Shigeyuki Kihara- a celebrated multi media artist and Rebecca Swan’s partner

fa’afafine Ema Lyon- a Maori weaver who describes herself as ia ( which in Te Reo Maori means both he and she)

Mani Bruce Mitchell- an intersex activist who shares the power of photographs in the reclaiming of her identity

MilDred Gerestant, the artist formerly known as DRED

“Not only does Rebecca Swan provide us with a timely and evocative motto for the 21st century, she does it with style and panache. Assume Nothing shows us what it looks like when theory is put into practice with love and considerable skill.”

-Del LaGrace Volcano- gender variant visual artist and activist.
