After showcasing local talent last year, performers this year highlight diverse and incredibly talented performers from across the region including local poet and choreographer Gillian Ebersole (they/them), &nbsp;ambient lo-fi dream pop musician bobbie (he/they), anti-disciplinary artist Dorian Wood (she/they) and DJ Michael V (he/him). The event is curated by Daly Arts. In curating this year&rsquo;s event, Daly reflected on the power of art to serve as a light and a mirror, saying &ldquo;in the wake of ongoing violent harassment, increasing passage of anti-trans laws and the multitude of ways small and large that trans identities are dismissed and diminished daily, we gather to mourn, persist in joyful and creative defiance and dance. Collectively the artists featured represent a spectrum of identities and creative expressions but are connected through their joyful ruptures and brilliant celebrations of the fierce, whimsical, radical queerness of life.&rdquo; The evening is programmed with moments for remembrance for those who have lost their lives and bring attention to the continued dehumanization and brutality endured by the trans and gender-expansive members of our community. The event will culminate in a collective dance ritual led by DJ Michael V. In addition to live performances, there will be an altar of remembrance created by local artists, food by Farah Momen of Bondhu, and most importantly opportunities to be in community. This is an all ages / all identities event. Participants are encouraged to mask as an act of community care. Pay-what-you-can. $30 suggested. $60 sponsors another&rsquo;s attendance.
