Featuring Daniel Hellmann aka Soya the Cow (Berlin/Zürich) with guest artists Nora Smith (Switzerland/Buenos Aires) + Corinne Manning (Seattle) + Markeith Wiley (Seattle)

This sharing and conversation features visiting artist Daniel Hellmann, also known as drag artist Soya the Cow. Soya the Cow is a gender and species bending drag cow that unites queerfeminist and environmentalist ideas with performance art, drag, animal rights activism and poetry. Soya is based in Berlin/Zürich and she has appeared in discussion forums and protests and performs on the stages of theaters, nightclubs and in public spaces.

After the artists share some of their work, grab another cocktail and join Velocity’s Interim Artistic Director, Fox Whitney in a talk with the artists about desire, drag, activism and queer world building. Guest artists include Daniel Hellmann’s collaborator photo and video artist Nora Smith (Switzerland/Buenos Aires); prose writer and literary organizer Corinne Manning (Seattle); and multi-dimensional art maker and Velocity 2022 Creative Resident Markeith Wiley (Seattle).

This gathering is inspired by Soya the Cow’s upcoming featured performance at NIGHTLIGHT: Milk Moon Friday May 13th at Cafe Racer, and the opening of Daniel Hellman’s photography exhibition at the Goethe Pop Up.
