The End of the World Party

Solo Exhibition by Juno Rose

October 27 - 31, 2026

Reception: Friday, Oct 30th | 6-8P

More About The End of the World Party

The End of the World Party uses the imagery of biblical and nuclear apocalypse to explore the intersection of racial and queer identity, primarily centering black, gender-nonconforming bodies. Using film and illustration in tandem, this dying world of burning pylons, broken power lines, and crying angels is brought to life, using Juno Rose, and her ever-evolving character, Mandinga, as its main subjects. Alongside the main concept, this exhibition invites you to sit and watch the other filmic works of Juno Rose, these films exploring race, intimacy, and sexuality through a variety of genres. In all, these four rooms use the often-overlooked perspectives of black, queer, and transgender individuals to ask the viewer to consider the beliefs they have about themselves and those who look nothing like them as they navigate a volatile America and an increasingly inhospitable land.
