Kings of Berlin

Kings of Berlin

Gareth Ernst

‘These are the Kings of Berlin. The noble and the frightening, the beautiful and joyful. These are our Queer Royalty. These are our chosen family our heroes our stories our friends. These are the ones stripped bare and drawn in the cold grey October light of a Berlin basement.’

Drawn during the 2022 Residency at the Queer community space Village in Schoneburg Berlin, they were shown in Berlin and exhibited in Sydney Australia. ‘Kings of Berlin’ is an exploration, celebration, and evocation of Berlins Queer Community.
