Queer Objects of the Home
Double Bed Durational Performance

  A curated display of research, installations, and series of participatory events exploring the speculative lavender marriage of Dora Gordine and Richard Hare, hinted at by former friends and acquaintances of the couple (albeit unwilling to go on the record).

A lavender marriage is a straight presenting union of one or two members of the LGBTQ+ community, offering an alternative form of companionship and often formed to protect those within it. Here, Somewhere re-imagined Dorich House as a queer home, questioning its history and imagining a simultaneous queer future.
