Blood Baby: Carpet Womb

Tree Lab, across the street from iMPeRFeCT Gallery (5539 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19144)

A sweaty, gay, disco ritual performed by six dancers and experienced inside a large tent-like structure, occurring outside and holding intentional space for shared, radical embodiment. (60 min)

Part of Blood Baby, a queer and trans exploration of lineage, family, and how we are each individually formed from artist Meg Foley and the Painted Bride.

• The 6/15 3pm show will be mandatory masking. Masks will be available at the door.
