Bitch! Dyke! Faghag! Whore! Photo offset poster. 437x316 mm; 17 1/8x12 1/2 inches. Signed by the performer in red marker. Circa 1994.
The photograph for this poster promoting a stop on the Australian tour of Penny Arcades famous show was taken in 1992 when she performed at New York's Village Gate in 1992.
Conceived in the early 1990s as a "fuck you" response to Senator Jesse Helms's stance on banning obsence art from the NEA, Penny Arcade's show has been performed on and off ever since and is considered a "joyful, sex-positive, queer carnival that asks us to get up from our seats and dance, even as it nurses our political and spiritual wounds."
