Starting July 1, 2025, Performance Space New York invites you to name one of their six bathroom stalls on the institution’s main 4th floor.

Each comes with a custom toilet seat and plaque, created in collaboration with artist Bailey Hikawa.
Your style, your story, your sense of humor—immortalized in plastic and brass.

The restroom itself becomes a long-term sonic environment, courtesy of artist Kevin Beasley.

Public bathrooms have always mattered—especially in queer and trans life.
They’ve been spaces of desire and danger.
Places for coded language, fleeting glances, and survival.
Hidden zones of risk, play, shame, and liberation.

Performance Space has always welcomed what doesn’t fit elsewhere.
In the 1980s, we were a meeting point for ACT UP.
A stage for downtown performance. A refuge in crisis.
We’ve never stopped holding space for artists at the edge.

This campaign continues that tradition—with humor, with care, and with history in mind.

Only six stalls are available.
This is one of the most personal, and most limited, naming opportunities in New York’s cultural life.

Support radical performance.
Celebrate queer history.
Leave a trace in a place that has always made room.
