Don’t leave me this way
Don’t Leave Me This Way was a durational performance featuring Dastan Satoshi, Karl Murphy, Jade Baldo, Evil Kebab, and Emily Rose, who walked continuously for five hours around Lucia Blake as she danced to The Commodores’ single “Don’t Leave Me This Way.” The performance addressed the tokenization of queer bodies by institutions and audiences.
The work was presented at Tate Modern as part of Tate Exchange on January 16th. Photography was by Rachel Steele.
