FUTURE
RITUAL

FUTURERITUAL is an artist-led research project considering the use of ritual in contemporary queer and performance cultures. FUTURERITUAL is conceived and convened by VSSL studio artist Joseph Morgan Schofield.

Identifying performance art as a potent contemporary modality for ritual,  FUTURERITUAL asks: how can the archaic technology of ritual be deployed in the divination, manifestation and sustentation of something else - of alternative [queer] futurities, wherein states of belonging (in difference) are felt deeply and more readily?
