WHAT IS HOT? HOT is a labor of love created by two Austin artists—Melissa Knight, a visual and community/public artist, and Andee Kinzy, a multi-disciplinary artist specializing in arts education, theatre, film, and audio storytelling. Inspired by their journeys through the wild changes of peri/menopause, they decided to create a space where womxn (and the people who love them) can feel seen, heard, and celebrated during “The Change.”
Co-produced by Ground Floor Theatre, HOT hits Austin in May 2025. The exhibit features the premiere of the play I Wanna Be a F*cking Princess by Jenny Connell Davis, a gallery exhibit, thought-provoking panel discussions, and artistic expressions including performance art, spoken word, and music. It is an inclusive space for open dialogue, education, and community engagement.
This project is supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department and is a fiscally sponsored project of Austin Creative Alliance.
