Featured Artist: Geppetta

Adelaide Windsome, a whimsy-core puppeteer and uke princess who performs under the name Geppetta, is a queer fabulist, street performer, multimedia artist, and art educator currently based in Philadelphia. Growing up fairly nomadic with a fear of dolls and an overactive imagination, she naturally gravitated towards the lifestyle of a traveling puppeteer.

 Inspired by classic fables and myths, occult symbolism, street art, and surrealism infused with a pension for social/ environmental activism and transfeminist sensibilities, Windsome presents art/performance as a cryptic, yet politically aware language that is inventive and enlightening. For Windsome, performance is a tool for growth and advocacy; finding voice and empowerment in an unsettling world.
