Twenty years after the first National Queer Arts Festival, we look back on where we were when the festival was conceived of in the queer 90s and where we thought we’d be. And then look forward to where we are now and where we might go in our imagined and unexpected trajectories.
Thea Hillman, Kendra Lubalin and Elizabeth Stark curate a show including veteran performers Leslie Mah, Meliza Bañales, Eli Lazarus, Aya deLeon, Jennifer Joseph, Ryka Aoki, Felicia Ward, and a surprise star from back in the day. They explore influences, impacts, and transformations, from coming of age to reaching middle age (and beyond) in a very different world. Join the conversation about what happened, what we’ve learned, what’s next and how we make sense--and art--of it all.
Childcare available.
