Artist Sam Ashby presents his short film Sanctuary (2024), an exploration of queer spirituality and utopian sexualities through the figure of Peter Chistopher Purusha Androgyne Larkin (1934–1988). Larkin was a North-American Catholic monk who became a notable early gay filmmaker before establishing himself as a cosmic-erotic mystic. Shot on 16mm, Sanctuary offers a portrait of Larkin in absentia, weaving together the voices of his friends, lovers and those who have found inspiration in his attempt to cultivate a culture of religious practice on queerness’ own terms.
