In the COMMUNITY SPACE

EXTENDED THROUGH
Friday August 17

THIS IS A LIVING EVOLVING EXHIBITION OF OUR STORIES.

Witness the unfolding elements of our journeys—through grief, resistance, transformation, liberation, and, most importantly, joy—woven into the fabric of our shared experience. Through this evolving exhibit, we refuse limitation, sprawling beyond narrow expectations of Southern queer representation.

We are not merely resisting erasure—we are naming it. The attempt to disappear us is not new. It is deliberate, practiced, a violence that has dressed itself in laws, in silence, in polite dismissal.

But we refuse to vanish. We refuse to shrink. Our existence is ancient, persistent, and undeniable.

We have been here for millennia. We will persevere. And together, we will continue to strive toward a just world, where dignity is not earned, but recognized; where each of us is met with the respect and love we inherently deserve.

Our Living Record is not a snapshot of a memory, but instead a testament of our legacy in motion.

An Acoustic Sound Event That Happens On The 2nd THURSDAY of Each Month

WHAT IS >UNTETHERED<?

Untethered is a sound series based in Asheville, NC and curated by @okapi_duo that features eclectic acoustic music of the region. The goal is to create an intimate environment with a totally stripped back approach (no amps, electronics, PA, etc.), producing an organic sonic experience for the audience and performers. The series will take place monthly at @revolveavl on 2nd Thursdays.

Our programming is possible because of our community and the support of @lamplightavl

SUPPORT US HERE!

Revolve is a contemporary art space that functions as part gallery, part studio, part performance and gathering space. We host exhibitions, events, and happenings that push the boundaries between artist and audience. Our intention is focused on representing creative energies on a foundation of inclusion, accessibility and experimentation. We are volunteer-run by artists who believe in the power of community. We are committed to being a space that is sustainable for art while remaining accessible for all.

Our mission is to support the varied creative folks of Western North Carolina, as well as regions beyond, to represent many different communities and forms of expression. In doing so, we hope to build a community with connections to an intellectual landscape that reaches beyond our mountain borders.

Accessibility is important. Revolve is a place to grow together as a community of makers. We are happy to be able to provide time + space for your creative and communal experience, but we are committed to not tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment including but not limited to: homophobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, ageism, xenophobia, ableism. Revolve strives to create a safer space for marginalized communities and voices, we keep ourselves safe.

ADA-friendly: We rent from RAMP Studios and are not permitted to make the necessary changes to our space to be completely ADA-compliant. There are no automatic doors for building or bathroom access, and one portion of our gallery is only accessible by a small flight of stairs. You can experience most of our space safely with more than 3 feet of clearance for passthroughs, exhibitions permitting. If you have additional concerns, please reach out for additional information.
