Disco Nap is my artistic response to the rising hate and threats faced by the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, especially attacks on safe spaces like schools and libraries. Inspired by John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s Bed-In for Peace and reimagined through the lens of queer culture, the project merges the ideology of pacifism with the vibrant energy of disco. Dressed as John Travolta from Saturday Night Fever, with high heels symbolizing resilience against anti-drag and anti-trans protests, I use this imagery to challenge oppression while honoring queer history.

Disco clubs, once sanctuaries for the queer community, serve as a metaphor in this project. These spaces, much like today's schools, provided a haven for self-expression amidst hostility. Today, similar threats loom, making the fight for safe spaces more crucial than ever.

Central to Disco Nap is the deliberate absence of colour, focusing on white as a symbol of peace, pause, and dreams. The artworks evoke a sea of clouds, inviting viewers to reflect on the fragility of safety and the importance of empathy. Alongside abstract paintings, the exhibition features protest signs, digital art of queer activists, and projections of historic movements, bridging past struggles with present-day challenges.

Disco Nap is my peaceful riot—an artistic protest for love, community, and the preservation of spaces where everyone can feel safe, valued, and heard. Through art, I aim to inspire action and remind us of the power of listening and compassion.
