Step into the Polly-Pocket-inspired world of artist Shae Myles in the opening of her solo exhibition "Hush lil baby" curated by 16NSt Curatorial Collective. Join us Thursday, 23rd November, 7pm-12am at Strange Field's French Street venue (105 French Street) for an evening of femme play, performance with Myles and Femme Castratrice @femme.castratrice, and Y2K tunes with Mojxmma (Mo-Jam-ma) @mojxmma.
Shae Myles @shae.guava will be joined by Femme Castratrice @femme.castratrice for a live performance that activates Myles' life-size sculptural installation, subverting the charming domestic space of the Polly Pocket compact. The sculpture constructs a fantastical world that refracts memories of childhood play, femme aesthetics, secrets, obsession, and early naughts consumer culture. Toying with the fluid boundary between child and adult play, the performance will explore how femme play can transgress social boundaries. *This event is for ages 16+ and will feature adult themes and images of nudity.
After the performance, you’re invited to party with Mojxmma (Mo-Jam-ma) @mojxmma - Glasgow's club night created by QTIPOC+ for QTIPOC+. With resident DJs Jam Eye and Halal Kitty spinning tunes, get ready for a celebration of femme perversity inspired by Myles' exhibition, featuring a genre-blending mix from modern and old school RnB and hip-hop to dance music, and club edits.
This is a free & ticketed event for ages 16+. Doors open at 7pm, get down before 8:30pm for the performance and Mojxmma will be on from 9pm.
Can’t wait to see you!

Shae Myles (b.1998) is an artist and community facilitator based in Glasgow. She graduated from Contemporary Art Practice at Gray’s School of Art in 2020; since then, her work has been shown in London, Canada and Switzerland. Her multidisciplinary practice centres around ideas of intimacy, secrets, play, shared eating habits, and mess. Myles is also the co-founder of Jiggle n Juice, a collective that focuses on showcasing creativity, engaging in critical conversation, and bridging the gap between art school and professional practice.
Femme Castratrice is the performance persona of Chao-Ying Rao (Betty), an East Asian visual and performance artist based in Glasgow. Her practice involves negotiating complexities around objectification and narcissism, often using humour as a tool to disarm and charm the viewer. Chao-Ying is interested in pop culture representations of femininity, social media censorship, and the subtle and not-so-subtle legacies of Orientalism.
Mojxmma (Mo-Jam-ma) @mojxmma is a QTIPOC+ club night in Edinburgh & Glasgow, with a focus on dance, hip hop, RnB and world music. Co-founded in 2020 by high school friends, resident DJs Halal Kitty and Jam Eye, they aim to create a space of solace, specifically for queer BPOC and femme queers. It is a radical space of POC and Queer pride, with curated themes for each night to promote self-exploration, expression and love. Dressing up on theme is not mandatory, but strong encouraged.
16NSt Curatorial Collective is a Glasgow-based social enterprise and curatorial collective which consists of directors Nell Cardozo and Aga Paulina Młyńczak, and curator Kelly Rappleye. 16NSt Curatorial Collective is dedicated to fostering the enjoyment of experimental contemporary art while striving towards power redistribution in the arts sector by supporting female-identifying, queer and class-marginalised artists. 16NSt has recently embarked on a new itinerant, site-specific model of curatorial programming that foregrounds engagement with urban spatial politics and social histories in specific sites. Through partnership working, we aim to expand our community reach, improve accessibility and support more diverse audiences and artists, meeting them where they are. We commission long-term, research-led artistic projects that challenge the sector-wide gender and class disparities in contemporary art discourses, labour conditions, professional opportunities, and cultural narratives.
