For the past seven years, photographer Jason Langer has documented Portland's unique EXOTIC DANCE, BURLESQUE, CIRCUS AND DRAG culture through portraiture and oral history, creating an intimate record of the performers whose lives and stories have helped shape the city's identity. Subrosa & the Cult of Aphrodite is both an art book and a cultural document, exploring themes of performance, labor, sexual identity, agency, and community. This event raises support for the publication and distribution of the book, helping preserve an important chapter of Oregon's cultural history and bring these stories to a wider audience.SEVEN YEARS. ONE BOOK. ONE NIGHT.

🚀Art is inherent to Portland and is a language Portlanders all speak. Art depicts life. However, the arts are severely underfunded, now more than ever.

Seven years of work deserves one hell of a celebration. Tickets: https://www.subrosapdx.net/
