Flaming Star wrangles with the dark undercurrents of ‘The West,’ queerness, desire, and the outright camp. Think Liberace in dusty chaps, horny yearning for country film stars, haunted mansions, and cowboys saddled on gyrating mechanical bulls. The mythos of the colonial frontier is undone in The Dowse’s sultriest saloon, with works by Arapeta Hākura, Bec Agnew, Christopher Ulutupu, Keri-Mei Zagrobelna, Melanie Tangaere Baldwin, Michael Haggie, Ming Ranginui, and Sandy Gibbs.
