Bullet Melting Ceremony by Stephanie Mercedes Honoring Dzhoy Zuckerman

  • The Fillmore School (meet in the parking lot) 1801 35th St NW Washington DC 20007 (map)

Part of the Queer Altars project, join us for a unique event where artist Stephanie Mercedes will transform decommissioned bullet casings into 3D reliefs for a small Queer Altar honoring biker Dzhoy Zuckerman. Dzoy Zuckerman tragically lost their life to gun violence in DC. Dzoy self identified as gender queer, loved the color purple and was an avid biker. This altar, crafted from melted weapons, symbolizes solidarity instead of focusing solely on lives lost to gun violence. The ceremony will take place in the parking lot at the Fillmore School.
