Shaun J. Wright

"Into a Space of Love", the first of a four-part film project in partnership with Frieze Magazine. Directed by Wu Tsang, the realist documentary explores the legacies of house music rooted in New York underground culture.

This short film follows Shaun J. Wright as he takes us through his roots in vogueing/ballroom culture and house music. “Sometimes I feel like I’m up against certain barriers, because when I look at who is given space to express themselves, it is people who don’t look like me. I feel like I come up against challenges that other people don’t, and that’s just the life of a black person. Queer on top of it.” —Shaun J. Wright
