We are so excited to have you take part in a series of performances over the air waves of our 1-844-WET-NISS number! Support Wetness will launch its first project, in collaboration with the Remote Intimacies performance series organized by One Archives at USC Libraries and Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art.

From February 4th-7th, with just a dial, you can dive right into our watery dreams, manifestos, meditation and conversations. (Transcript here for access purposes.)

On the final day, February 7th, hydrate with a live Q&A on ZOOM by your local Wetness representatives, HH Hiaasen and Lukaza Branfman-Verissimo. REGISTER HERE

As we take you on an aquatic and abolitionist journey, we invite you to jump in and turn this listening into action! Support Wetness will be supporting Transgender Gender-Variant & Intersex Justice Project and Soldiers of Pole, fund drive style! After you take a listen, we encourage you to open up your wallets and financially support the incredible they do to support, fund and house, queer, trans, non-binary, Black, indigenous, people of color sex workers!

Artist bios:

HH Hiaasen is an interdisciplinary artist whose work is activated by the exposure of their queer body within public space: its underlying desire, labor and grief. Informed by a BFA in fiber from Maryland Institute College of Art (2014), their practice oscillates between performance and textiles. In 2016, they started a conceptual, anti-uniform line called "Ventilated Workwear" that became a financially solvent profession. As an experiment in queer survival, they Ventilated Workwear full-time for one year. Their other performances have shown nationally and internationally, exhibiting at Freie Universitat, Berlin, Germany (2015); Yale School of Art (2016), New Haven, CT; The Poetry Project, NY (2020); a 15-city, cross-mid-country tour with NY-based performer Jennifer Vanilla (2018). Freshly moved from Lenape land (Brooklyn, NY), they currently live on Powhattan land (Richmond, VA) pursuing an MFA in Graphic Design at Virginia Commonwealth University. www.studio-hh.com @studio.hh
