About
Krissy Talking Pictures is a video art label and an alternative to art institutions that showcases the work of queer artists in Philadelphia. Founded by Cherry Nin in 2019, KTP became a collective with four members in May 2020. Since the start of COVID-19, Cherry Nin, Rat Porridge, Oona Taper, and Florence Fire have continued to create space for video watching and sharing through the creation of a virtual gallery space and online hub, krissytalkingpictures.net. They are currently completing four months of exhibitions on the Krissy website, a project that is made possible with generous support from the Leeway Foundation’s Art & Change Grant.

Videos by KTP artists will be on view April 7—25, 2021. (Download the Flyer!)

A LITTLE BIT LIKE BREATHING
