John Paul Morabito: Take Me to Heaven

May 9 - September 6, 2026

Transdisciplinary weaver John Paul Morabito merges digital interfaces with improvisational handwork to transform relics, devotional imagery, and ritual materials into opulent woven memorials that bend and twist time. The shimmering tapestries, saturated in color, adorned with beads, and swathed in gold, reflect on ethnicity, the sacred, and queerness. Each work stands as a radiant tribute to Queer life and community, celebrating its bombastic, glittering glory with reverence and exuberance.
