Mixing dreams, facts, and emotions in works in drawing, embroidery, installation, and performance, four artists examine queer bodies in and outside of messy systems. Shuttling across inside and outside, they become beautifully entangled in the queer chaos of it all.

Bless This Mess is presented concurrently with Ambiguity Is My Weapon.
