The Bitters 2: We're Fucked
In times of cynicism, disgust and hopelessness, we look for outlets to express our frustrations, as well as our aspirations for action and change. "The Bitters 2: We're Fucked" explores how we currently cope with lies, greed, conflict, inequality, and paranoia - with all the sarcasm and overall disenchantment that makes this show so satisfying. While all ages are welcome, please know this exhibition might make you laugh, uncomfortable, or even angry. Work may not be appropriate for young viewers.
