February 4th-7th, call 1-844-WET-NISS (844-938-6477) to hear a series of audio performances: watery dreams, manifestos, meditation and conversations. Leave a voicemail with your own questions about supporting wetness!

On February 7th, 4pm PST/7pm EST, hydrate with a live Q&A (on the phone and on this ZOOM) by your local Wetness representatives, HH Hiaasen and Lukaza Branfman-Verissimo. Listen as your questions are answered LIVE!

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!

Remote Intimacies is a performance series organized by the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art and One Archives at USC Libraries.

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.

Lukaza Branfman-Verissimo (she/her/they/them) is a queer, black, artist, activist, educator, storyteller & curator who lives and works between Ohlone Land [Oakland, CA] and Powhatan Land [Richmond,VA]. Branfman-Verissimo’s work is informed by their commitment to craft and community, engagement with society, and interests in storytelling and cultural geography.
