From the first spark of an idea to the final dreamscape fantasy world of Tygr Willy’s mind. Witness the journey of Toronto’s Them Fatale playing in their fullest sensual, glamorous, and abundant joy through the art of the Tease.
Tyler J Sloane – They/Them. As an Anishinaabe (Oji-cree), Chinese, White mixed race Non-binary artist, my work emphasizes marginalized voices with an intrinsic intersectional lens and artistic framework. As a trans racial adoptee growing up in a predominantly white community, my desire to represent the beauty of experiencing racialization and queerness to translate it through stories and artistry is inherent.
