Communicator Series highlights queer and trans* performance artists whose practice is situated in-between. We're here for work that is switchy, vers, and language-curious. Work that can’t resist approaching the potential of failure, that the teases the edges of form as a poetic strategy of becoming otherwise, that fucks around and sometimes finds out, or at least challenges you to.
Curated by Emji Saint Spero

ARTISTS
Tyler Holmes’ work reminds us that we are always in one spiral or another; spiraling out in exasperation, downward out of despondency, or inward toward oneself. The Wire calls Holmes’ work ‘Beautiful, at times frightening, confronting listeners and their complacency while holding space for a collective catharsis.’ They perform with a constantly changing electro-acoustic arrangement exploring what humanity is left in electronic music, always finding new ways to showcase an intimate horror. They released their most recent LP ‘Nightmare In Paradise’ in 2021 on Ratskin Records. Most recently Holmes' released their music video "To Accept" via Paper Magazine.
