This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
A historical narrative of the black and latino/a transgender, bisexual, lesbian, and gay House and Ballroom Scene in relation to its artistic practices.

60 minutes of hard ass minimal film, projected onto a weather balloon and accompanied by the inspired poetic rant of a visionary Frenchman.
