Becoming Constellation is an ever expanding, interdisciplinary and collaborative artwork lead by Benjamin Sebastian.
A working methodology to explore queer narrative production - or - what it feels like to live through queerness and make new worlds. Collaboration involves sitting for a photographic portrait and co-authoring a sigil with the lead artist, which is then tattooed onto the bodies of the collaborator and lead artist. Collaborators to date include:
Dani d'Emilia, Fabiola Paz, Jade Montserrat, Keijaun Thomas, Bean, JD Melling,
Ryan Burke, Matteo Cortés, Andre Braga Verissimo, Esther Neff, Alicia Radage, Joseph Morgan Schofield.
