JOIN OUR BOARD! Full app available at the link in JOIN OUR BOARD! Full app available at the link in bio 🌈 Queer Cultural Center is entering a new era, and we’re looking for new board members to help shape what comes next. We are rebuilding our infrastructure, strengthening our role in the Bay Area’s queer arts ecosystem, deepening community engagement, and building a more sustainable, accountable, and artist-centered organization. We’re looking for artists, community members, and people with nonprofit or community organizing experience. Board service is an opportunity to advocate for queer arts and culture, grow your leadership and governance skills, support cool arts events, and help steward a city-supported cultural program. You do not need prior board experience. We’re looking for people who care deeply, think collaboratively, and want to build with us. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, with priority given to those completed by 8/31. Learn more at the link in bio!

We’re so proud of your hard work this year. Thanks to our illustrious host @aimathedreamer and to @bravatheater - especially Saoirse and Michael on tech, Jojo and Jade in the house, and Lottie on logistics. Thanks to @damissionphotos for capturing all the events across our productions this year. And thanks to Demi, Johnny, Apollo and Lauren for holding it down during a huge moment of transition for QCC. It takes a village. We hope you’ll attend our final pride event this coming Tuesday (check out our last post for more info, an adorable animation by @payne.mov !) Happy Pride :) 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

EMERGING ARTIST:  LUCIA 益亚雯 @ledao.wav is an inte EMERGING ARTIST:  LUCIA 益亚雯 @ledao.wav is an interdisciplinary artist exploring the body as a vessel for culture and legacy. Their work for QCC’s Emerging Artist Showcase is a contemporary dance piece about conflict as intimacy. Two bodies navigating rupture, reactivity, and the limits of what we’ve been taught, first in silence, then to sound. Uncomfortable, heartbreaking, and reaching toward something better.

His work for QCC’s Emerging Artist Showcase is a slow-moving, atmospheric sound performance. Ambient, sensual, interior. Alfredo builds a sonic world from a small stage and invites the audience to inhabit it with him.

Their portion of QCC’s Emerging Artist Showcase will be a rock set that moves through pride, lust, ego, and collective liberation. Big energy, mirror aesthetics, sound-reactive visuals. Demse is the rockstar and the ritual all at once.
