Sevan Mercy (all pronouns) and Lonesome Bill Walker (he/him) are a gender-bending, queer collaborative duo rooted in Milwaukee, WI. Sevan-in the shapeshifting roles of artist, parent, social worker, and spirit-tender-is a nonbinary, neurodivergent, SWANA wizard force of too-muchness. Through music and ritual, they blur meaning with meaninglessness in pursuit of collective liberation. Lonesome Bill is a transsexual mark maker and disabled devil using wood, paint, cloth, and ink to create narrative work in the forms of sculptures, costumes, and performance. Together, Sevan and Lonesome Bill draw deeply from mythology and absurdism to transform community gatherings and queer embodiment into ungovernable spaces.
