Artist

Charlie Lee

Charlie Lee is a performance designer, artist, and writer from Aotearoa working across dance, textiles, costume making and film. Led by queer/trans* ecological methodologies and aesthetics of collapse, they make work which sits in in-between zones, precarious balances, and feelings of anticipation.

Charlie was part of the Emerging Writers Program at Seventh Gallery in 2024 and continues to co-facilitate a Trans Ecology reading and project group. Coming sideways from costume and scenography, their writing has formed as a means of articulating and expanding the atmospheric effects of performance as a medium for desire, futurity, and alterity.

Sunday 14 September, 3PM-4PM
