“Queer. Futures. Past: I'm a Ghost and So Are You” is a multimedia 

ritual performance and installation. An offering to the LGBTQ+ 

community of Baltimore City to collectively explore notions of queer 

lineage by summoning spirits of the past to build a brighter queer 

future. 

“Queer Futures Past: I am Ghost and So Are You” examines personal 

and inherited queer erasure. Rae Red, Cliff Doby, Skye Fort, nine guest 

performers and two visual artists, playfully address their 

secret, ignored, and partially imagined queer lineage through a 

month-long installation at Current Space. Using a playful adaptation of 

spirit photography and sceances of the 1840s as the visual landscape 

of the piece, Queer Futures Past crafts a non-linear narrative 

experience combining personal, familial, and cultural histories, 

summoning spirits, and examining notions of harm and healing.
