Mirrored Sessions is bringing reflection to San Fr

Mirrored Sessions is bringing reflection to San Francisco.

On June 11th, @frankiemaston leads a cast of Trans, Gender Non-Conforming, and Queer artist through an immersive performance at @thepalacetheatersf. Through live music, embodied dance, and storytelling, the evening moves from grounding to release; from remembrance to reclamation. Rooted in Afro-diasporic memory and lived experience across Tanzania and the Bay Area, Mirrored Sessions extends the circle across continents, connecting queer and trans communities in East, South, and Central Africa in an act of solidarity and shared presence.

This performance happens one night only. Don’t miss your chance to be in the room when it happens.

Doors 6 PM · Show 6:30–9:30 PM | The Palace Theatre · 644 Broadway, San Francisco | Tickets available at the link in bio

@restingbetweenwaveforms is an electro-acoustic du

@restingbetweenwaveforms is an electro-acoustic duo formed by QTPOC artists cuchari and transcriptions01, born during the shelter-in-place of 2020 and premiered live at the National Queer Arts Festival in 2022. their work uses sound to respond to an earthly harkening: to protect, resound, and care for our community’s slow and turbulent transit from isolation towards collectivity. committed to liberation through live and virtual performance in queer and accessible spaces, resting between waveforms brings that devotion into ꧁꫱꧂ 𝒶𝓆𝓊𝒶𝓇𝒾𝓊𝓂 ꧁꫱꧂, a 5 hour drop-in sound medicine festival where you are invited to arrive whenever you’re ready, rest as long as you need, and leave feeling held. this is sound as care. this is community as practice.

📍 Community Music Center, San Francisco
May 23 | 2pm to 7pm | 18+

Join @BlackMoonAstrology and @7000coils for As Abo

Join @BlackMoonAstrology and @7000coils for As Above So Below, a night where the cosmos, the ancestors, and the community gather as one.

BlackMoon Astrology holds the mirror of the heavens up to our deepest selves. Rooted in the belief that the stars are our oldest ancestors, BlackMoon reclaims the astrological archetypes that were once overwritten by colonial violence, honoring the celestial wisdom that has always illuminated our paths forward.

@7000coils brings the sound. A record label and holistic wellness movement fueled by the diaspora’s ritualistic alchemy, they bridge past and present through music, facilitation, and ritual, centering Black and queer voices that have been overlooked for too long.

As Above So Below is their offering to you: live readings, meditation, collaborative ritual, and stargazing under an open Oakland sky.

The cosmos is calling. Come as you are.

📍 5.16.2026 | BlaQyard, Oakland | Doors 5pm | Stargazing 9pm | In-person & Livestream tickets available at the link in bio.
