Blending playful parodies\, lush harmonies\, and sexy swag\, M2m will fill your ears with beauty\, your belly with laughs\, and your heart with good old-fashioned queer love. \nThe centerpiece of the evening is the debut of The Singing Bois’ A Queerstory of the Boy Band\, a romp through histories of masculinity in U.S. popular music. Combining choreography\, drag aesthetics\, and unique vocal arrangements\, this musical revue pushes the boundaries of masculinity and reveals how female-bodied people shape its construction. \nMatching smooth vocals with sharp political commentary\, the Vajayna Men’s Choir brings much-needed humor to disrupt typical FTM narratives\, through original parodies of show tunes and pop songs. \nTrans artist Felix Lee opens the show with acoustic-electro fusion\, using loop pedals\, laptop\, and electric guitar to weave soundscapes and create cinematic auditory journeys to entrance the soul. \nARTISTS’ BIOGRAPHIES \nCreating Queer Community \nDiscipline: Music

How we can stand up for each other in the face of ongoing loss today? What is “home” and how do we keep it and hold it down for one another today? \nThrough diverse multidisciplinary performances\, this year’s artists contribute a profound re-understanding of place\, time\, loss\, and possibility in a very special night of performance. You won’t want to miss this intimate gathering of voices that refuse to be silenced and that remind us that we will always be “Still Here.” \nARTISTS’ BIOGRAPHIES \nDiscipline: Multidisciplinary

Although she experiences the turmoil of fighting for justice while battling oppression because of her identity\, the seeds she plants for Black liberation grow stronger because of her perseverance.

Using monologue\, song\, dance and drag Rotimi embodies\, explores\, and exposes the battles artists fight in the exclusive world of mainstream American theatre. \nDrawing from Rotimi’s experience as a professional actor\, Type/Caste portrays the peaks and pitfalls of a young artist’s quest for success and raises the questions: What is true artistic success and how can it be achieved in an art form that has been overrun by commercial concerns? How can an artist create outsider art in a profession that overwhelmingly favors insiders? How does our American brand of profits-over-people capitalism threaten the very soul of the performing arts? \nARTISTS’ BIOGRAPHIES \nDiscipline: Music/Performance \nCreating Queer Community

SUMMARY:Changes
DESCRIPTION:Larkin Street Youth Services & Qcc present\nChanges\nJune 9 – Opening Reception – 6pm\nExhibition June 9 – July 2\nLARKIN\, Opening Reception – 6pm\n134 Golden Gate avenue\, SF\nCurated by Alex Hernandez \nFREE \nDue to San Francisco’s rising cost of living\, it has created a lot displacement for various groups that once thrived in the city. Based on San Francisco’s 2013 Homeless Count\, 29 percent of the city’s homeless population identified as LGBT. A portion of those homeless are Queer youth that have run away from home from other parts of country\, coming to San Francisco in hopes of finding a community that will love and support them. Due to the economic changes to the city\, a lot of these young folks struggle to obtain housing and jobs. \nLarkin Street Youth Services has been helping youth get off the streets since the 1980’s. The Art department at Larkin has been encouraging artistic inclined youth to use art as a way to express their struggles and aspirations. This exhibition perfectly fits the NQAF theme of Horizons because it gives young Queer artists a voice and perspective of San Francisco’s changing landscape. It’s an exhibition about origins and destinations. \nCURATOR’S BIOGRAPHY \nDiscipline: Visual Arts \nCreating Queer Community \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

Told through stunning aerial and acrobatic performances and narrated by queen chanteuse Honey Mahogany (RuPaul’s Drag Race)\, PARADISE follows an angel after she falls from a pole that connects heaven to earth. This ethereal seraph must defy gravity and navigate a world of demigods and mysticism on her quest to return home. \nPARADISE is conceived and directed by India Sky Davis and ushers in a new\, queer Black Mythology. Davis\, alongside aerial artist Marshall Jarreau (Cirque du Soleil) and Essence magazine featured aerialist Kiebpoli Calnek\, lead a local cast of queer and trans* performers of color in this provocative physical theater production. \nTopsy-Turvy’s’ production of PARADISE is generously supported by the San Francisco Arts Commission\, Horizon’s Foundation\, California Arts Council\, Queer Cultural Center\, and Brava Theater. \nARTISTS’ BIOGRAPHIES \nDiscipline: Multidisciplinary – Circus/Dance/Theater

SUMMARY:All Ways Lead to the Mill
DESCRIPTION:Aggregate Space Gallery & Qcc present\nAll Ways Lead to the Mill\nJune 3 – June 18\nAggregate Space Gallery\nhttp://aggregatespacegallery.org\nOpening Reception: June 3\, 6-10pm.\nArtist Talk: June 11\, 1pm.\nJamil Hellu \nFREE \nAll Ways Lead to the Mill is a solo exhibition by visual artist Jamil Hellu\, investigating the conflicts that emerge at the intersection of Middle-Eastern heritage and queerness. Exploring how we determine relationships to cultural histories and personal narratives\, Hellu claims his identity in relation to his Syrian roots and Arab ethnicity. All Ways Lead To The Mill is inspired by a Syrian proverb about how different paths lead to the same destination. His work juxtaposes performative moving and still images to address homophobia and sexuality\, creating a contemporary discourse about the implications of cultural lineage. \nARTIST’S BIOGRAPHY \nDiscipline: Visual Art \nCreating Queer Community \n

SUMMARY:Muck and Sparkle: The Magic and Pain of Survival
DESCRIPTION:Queer Youth Productions\, Galeria de la Raza & Qcc present\nMuck and Sparkle: The Magic and Pain of Survival\nJune 2\nGaleria de la Raza\, Studio 24\, 6pm\nEPLi\, Ariel Springfield & Madhvi Trivedi\nFREE \nWebsite: www.queeryouthproductions.com\nSocial Media: https://www.facebook.com/events/463631963830713/ \nWith hands outstretched to the future\, Queer Youth Productions’ traveling exhibit\, Muck and Sparkle: The Magic and Pain of Survival\, brings forth the art of expanding hearts and the paradox of possibility in a candid array of artwork from LGBTQIA2S youth. The show brings with it the specter of struggle that youth maneuver to (re)claim space and carve out the complexities of their identities. \nAlongside powerful depictions of self determination\, this exhibit transcends the two dimensional\, offering a unique glimpse into the less-often-heard-seen-thought-touched-interiority of vulnerability that comes with uncovering (un)truths of gender and sexuality. By centering voices of queer youth\, we are able to reflect upon work that has been done in queer communities as well as build intergenerational conversations for envisioning supportive and liberating futures. Within these artworks is a resilient force of magic that speaks to a collective and time-defying queer tongue. \nARTISTS’ BIOGRAPHIES \nFunded in part by The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence\, Sister Grant. \n \n  \nDiscipline: Visual Art \nCreating Queer Community
