This work was composed for Dylan Kerr's funeral in June 2020.
Dylan is dead and what's left of them now takes the form of Baptist Goth. A fusion of an emo trap idol and a Catholic saint, born out of a time of darkness in Poznan, Poland.

Dylan came close to taking their own life, but Baptist Goth saved whatever parts of Dylan were still living and became a new entity.
Polish hate speech laws protect religious statues, but not living, queer people. Baptist Goth is the creation of a queer sainthood in Catholic Poland, imagining a world in which our religious idols are queer idols, and we prayed to queer saints.
All proceeds will be donated and split between two Polish charities
1. Fundusz Dla Odmiany, whose goal is to make LGBT + people feel at home in every community in Poland. The money will be used to fund workshops, educational programmes, support networks etc. Providing support to queer people in local communities across the country
