DisGraceland sees The Huxleys on a wild road trip across rural Victoria for a lurid fever dream capturing the story of two queer alien Elvis’s trying to make it home. The Huxleys embrace the camp, unorthodox presence of how Elvis would have first appeared in small- town USA in the 1950s. Rewriting the history of rock ’n’ roll as a gay love story, The Huxleys have interpreted this in their own queer cosmic fashion. The duo created these photographs and costumes to speak to their continuing interest in escapism and otherworldly glamour.

In addition to the exhibition, audiences can take part in a crafting and bedazzling tea towel workshop with The Huxleys at the Convent, 6-8pm on Tuesday 15 August, and an Artist Talk 1:30pm-2:30pm Saturday 19 August.

A special DisGraceland Performance Night will take place on Saturday 12 August where The Huxleys will be joined on stage by an exquisite lineup of some of Naarm’s finest queer performers who will belt out some twists on classic Elvis tracks, including, Are You Loathsome Tonight?, Got Great Boobs of Fire, Come shake your Suspicious Behinds, and many more hits to get the audience up and dancing.
