Cheer Me Up, Cheer Me On is a large scale multi-channel video exhibition created on site for the Alabama Contemporary Art Center by multimedia artist Valerie George. Building on a body of work, entitled Welcome to My Party, that documents her experience of breast cancer at various stages of treatment through multimedia installation and photography, Cheer Me Up, Cheer Me On pays homage to performance within the artist’s punk cultural lineage to unpack the ongoing transformation of her body and spirit.
