As many are headed off to feast with friends and f As many are headed off to feast with friends and family, we want to share this queer creative indulgence, a short but sweet clip from this year's NQAF Emerging Artists Showcase. This clip is from Layla Vengas' performance. Read on to hear more about the performance from the artist's own words...

"My performance piece explores queerness as resistance to colonial power, to rigid forms, and to the narrowing of expression. Layering music, sampling, spoken word, projection, and movement, it shifts between grief, rage, tenderness, and joy. Rather than telling a straightforward story, it creates an atmosphere where expression moves beyond what is permitted, where choosing oneself becomes an act of sovereignty, and where queer interconnectedness becomes sustenance. The piece reflects on release and abundance. Joy, love, and refusal are not only modes of survival, they are blueprints for cultivating and preserving an alternate world/legacy."
As part of our month of gratitude, we want to than As part of our month of gratitude, we want to thank our former fiscally sponsored project, ABO Comix! ABO Comix does much needed work with LGBTQ+ community impacted by the carceral system, focalized through literary art!

The second artist performing at this year's Nation The second artist performing at this year's National Queer Arts Festival's Emerging Artists Showcase was Rai Dang. Here are some photos from her performance and here's what she had to say about her piece:
Rai Dang presents her project Blood 4 Rain: Animist grief alchemy alongside Inéz Nuñez de Arco, combining live drums, siku, quena, guitar, gong, and analog electronics, with roots in Darkwave, EBM, Techno, Cumbia, Saya, Huayno and Aymara/Vietnamese traditional music. With our ancestors, for our descendants. Prayers to transmute grief into a knife sharp enough to gut the empire.
