A special experience is happening in Brooklyn this March as a part of the Death Becomes Her exhibition at BRIC. I'll be designing and hosting Mckendree Key's project the 5' x 10' bar at Green-Wood Cemetery on March 28th. Tickets are on sale now. Please book ASAP if you would like to come - there are a limited quantity of tickets available.
LEIGH DAVIS/ MARCH 28TH
3:00- 6:00 PM & 6:30- 9:30PM
THE SURVIVALISTS/ COCKTAILS TO DRINK BEFORE YOU DIE/ SUPERNATURAL OCCURRENCES
The sense of urgency, anxiety, and fear gripping our country in the face of political chaos and looming climate crisis, inspired my concept for The Survivalists. I will create an experience for attendees which acts as the threshold to another reality that will explore the continuation of human existence beyond our present moment and into eternity.
Each of the 3 nights are uniquely themed, curated and led by a different artist, and the conversations will center around aspects of Death.
Cocktails are tailored to each nights' theme and are crafted on-site. Please come ready to delve deeper into face-to face conversation led by the artist. You may be asked to dress according to the code. No previous experience with the theme is necessary.
Join us deep in the cemetery for this special, one time only iteration of the 5' x 10'.

More about the project:
There were once well over 20,000 speakeasies in NYC, many of them in Brooklyn. Now, even where alternative spaces do exist, they are in constant fear of being outpriced, deported, or steamrolled. Precarious are the outposts of artistic expression: artist-run spaces, artist-used spaces and family owned spaces. The 5 x 10 is a small part of the resistance to this scripted purification of our city. It’s also a brick and mortar opportunity to delve deeper into the now radical act of face-to-face conversation.
