Through this time warp of a year we feel it is important to have an opportunity to release the energy that tethers us to our darkness and allow ourselves to evolve into our ultimate forms. Through performance, movement, and visual art we will be providing space to gather, heal, and affirm the lives of queer artists of color.


Together we will enter the vortex, travel through the eye of the storm, burst through the other side, and find joy at the end of the rainbow.

Donations, which we welcome will go to @StarRouteFarm “fundraises to expand food-access work to provide quality, local food for all people in their region. Their goal is to dedicate their farm to growing food security by providing organically-grown produce to  communities  that currently depend on mutual aid networks and pantries to survive our current public health crisis in New York such as Bushwick Ayuda Mutua, Heart of Dinner, Wat Buddha Thai Thavorn Vanaram, Delaware Opportunities, and Future Foods. Located in Charlotteville, New York, Star Route Farm is a small-scale diversified vegetable, herb and small grain farm using organic practices on seven acres of land, three of which are used for intensified vegetable production and four acres are used for grains and beans.”



MAKIBAKA FOR AZAADI (Battle for Freedom) at Church of Fun [corner of Melrose Avenue and Madison] we will unite, supporting the self-determination of @Sabokahan, Lumad Indigenous wxmn facing manmade climate calamity and paramilitary attacks and the people of Kashmir impacted by military occupation.

On February 1, Liyang Network’s relief and psychosocial mission “Tindog Makilala! Building Unity and Resilience in Climate Calamity” for Lumad survivors of magnitude 6 earthquakes that hit Mindanao offered pregnancy kits, medicine, menstrual products, art kits, held PST sessions for 200+ women and 300+ children, and fed 600+ women and children in collaboration with the Women’s Studies and Resource Center. Let us continue supporting the work of @liyang_network in meeting the needs of lumad communities affected by climate calamities and militarization.

As of February 5, 8 million Kashmiris have been besieged by 900,000+ Indian soldiers for the past 6 months under the fascist racist Modi government regime. Kashmiris face brutal torture, firings at unarmed protestors, bans on religious proceedings, and sexual violence as they reject the use of Islamophobic discourses and displacement. As Kashmir continues to fight for their freedom, we can #EndtheOccupation through our social media outreach and elevating Kashmiri narratives globally (@standwithkashmir). Let us put an end to the human rights violations in Kashmir and Mindanao.

⠀Makibaka! Huwag Matakot! Hum kya chahte! Azaadi! As Kashmir and Mindanao face media repression ranging from misinformation to total blackouts under militarization and occupation, it is crucial we advocate for their self-determination and lend our resources. All proceeds going towards Makibaka for Azaadi (Battle for Freedom) will be split between @liyang_network (on behalf of @sabokahan) and @arwahcollective (for @standwithkashmir).”

Liminal Space SF

April 29th, 2023 - June 2nd, 2023

Curated by Sam Claude Carmel


Aliens, angels, and robots converge in a chimera dance, moving in rhythm to beats both sacred and profane.This is a site of spiritual ecstasy, the door through which the raver encounters the rave, the ritual moment of tab hitting tongue.Here is a mirrored portal that unions the flesh of trans-divinity with material reality and opens us up to sacred experience.Moving fluidly, we expand the possibilities for our expression to the beyond.

This show is for reclaiming Trans-contemporary psychedelic culture in the Bay Area. Previously, in the psychedelic era of the 60s and 70s, San Francisco’s art scene was dominated by white cisgender male artists. Even now, much of the past and present contributions of Transgender people to psychedelic culture have been overlooked. After attending the first Queering Psychedelics conference in April 2019, I realized the need to explore this history and create a place to expand psychedelic visual language in contemporary art that includes Transgender Bay Area artists and those working outside the bay.

San Diego, California. Casa Familiar, this year celebrating its 50th anniversary, is pleased to announce the exhibition WOMXN, WORDS & WEAVING – Mujeres, Palabras y Tejidos as part of Casa Familiar’s 16th annual Dia de la Mujer.

January 12 - February 1, 2023

The zine format has been used extensively in our LGBTQIA+ community to pass on information, either written or visual, in an informal, accessible, free and unofficial way. It is a cultural form that rejects the mainstream in favour of the personal, the political and the playful.

The DIY publications included in A to Zine offer visitors an opportunity to delve into the latest expressions of queer culture on topics as varied as: how to look after your mental health online; recover from your first break-up; understand the sociology of bad sex or bake bread with very unusual ingredients.

Visitors can flick through joyful celebrations of body hair, explore the colours of mushrooms, or chart the dysfunctions of the gender clinic. The zines explore the limits of form and format, ranging from pocket sized, folding concertina, to pamphlet and hefty booklet.

Matrix Exhibition curated by Tracy Ren -  Featured Artist VALE - Root Division, San Francisco, CA

MATRIX at @rootdivision in San Francisco which centers the collective learning, healing and dreaming of artists who deviate from hegemonic norms. The exhibition is an invitation to these artists to create, heal, nourish themselves and one another, dream of prospective futures, and exhibit their works without descriptive constraints or limitations. The exhibition also invites the audience to participate in this healing and dreaming, fostering a culture of care and exchange between and across communities.

The artists featured in MATRIX are diverse in their approaches, each possessing highly nuanced and multivalent practices that draw from a wellspring of deep personal wisdom. What they have in common is the desire to connect—to themselves, to others, and to the world at large. They lovingly create entirely new languages with which to speak through a poetry of material, space, and action.

“In gathering within the framework of MATRIX, we aim to grow towards one another in meaningful ways while honoring the complex lineages that flow through us. We hope to strengthen, expand, and celebrate the webs of care within the SF Bay Area’s creative communities by providing an integral space to practice more aligned ways of being in and engaging with the world and one another, and to indulge in the potency of a dream.” – Tracy Ren
