Opening night of NQAF 2026 was a dream. Big thanks

Opening night of NQAF 2026 was a dream. Big thanks to @blackmoonastrology for leading us all back to ourselves.

Through guided reflection and communal conversation, we held up mirrors to each other. @7000coils and @lalin_music graced us with connections to our ancestors and the stars, and we were fed in more ways than one.

Swipe through for a glimpse of a magical, breathtaking night!

Frankie Maston is a gender-expansive AfroSoul, R&B

Frankie Maston is a gender-expansive AfroSoul, R&B, and Pop artist originally from Tanzania, now rooted in the Bay Area. A singular voice from a veiled society, their music draws from soul, reggae, and Afropop, carrying the stories of a community that seeks hope, healing, and representation. Since first performing live in 2016, Frankie has toured globally and built community platforms spanning Tanzania, Kenya, Germany and the U.S. dedicated to artistic expression and collective care. In everything they create, the vision is the same: a world where everyone feels seen, heard, and free to be. Mirrored Sessions is that vision made into an evening. The show unfolds in three acts — each a transformation. It begins with the Healer: fog, candlelight, singing bowls, and a contemporary dancer moving through a journey of peace. A soundscape that calls the body home. From there, Frankie steps to center stage as the Enchantress — casting spells through slow, sensual music, live instrumentation, and the mesmerizing presence of two pole dancers. Finally, the night erupts into Rebirth, as a traditional drum circle leads the room into a full Afro dance set, Afro-traditional dancers take the stage, and Frankie channels the fierce, transformative power of Goddess Oya. It is grounding, then pleasure, then fire. A full arc of queer becoming — lived in community, in real time.

June 11 · Doors 6 PM · Show 6:30–9:30 PM
The Palace Theatre · San Francisco
