Starting at sunset and ending at sunrise, It’s Get Better is an annual night that brings together musicians, artists, performers, and poets alongside film & video works, and a cinema programme of artist-selected sex-positive films. Previous iterations of the series presented by artist Stewart Uoo took place at NYC’s Artists Space and MoMA PS1.

Occurring for the first time outside New York City, It's Get Better V will extend across the Institute of Contemporary Arts, moving from performance, to screenings, to dance party. The night is organised around perspectives from persons of colour and their investments in queer, feminist and radical content.

Join us at It’s Gets Better V.

Artist ( Description ): 

Having grown up in California, Uoo studied at Städelschule in Frankfurt, before moving to New York in 2012, where he began collaborating with Marie Karlberg and Hayley Pisaturo to organise cult underground parties under the name XTA-PUSSY. Through these events Uoo developed and funded his own art practice, and today exhibits internationally – he is renowned for work across sculpture, video and collage that summons up post-apocalyptic bodies fragmented and fused with the textures and visual codes of contemporary fashion. In 2013 Uoo had his first museum show with Jane Euler at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York and in 2014 was included in the group exhibition Looks at the ICA. In 2015 he screened his film Confessions (9 women) at the ICA Artists’ Film Club.
