Happy Pride Month! Come and celebrate the gayness of June at the QUEER as FUCK festival launch party!
“Queer as fuck”, defined as a state of being more queer than most, perhaps the queerest of them all, is honored during the QUEER as FUCK festival, with a focus on the diverse power of black box theater, sharing stories of love, sex and politics of living life as a queer person of color and the experiences of allies in the community.
The gay affair will showcase at the iconic Bindlestiff Studio, and feature works by…
Oakland-based visual artist Althea Solis. A comics artist, painter, writer, and teacher, Solis finds inspiration from the tangled history of Filipino-American identity and queer sensibilities. She has garnered awards and honors from the Stanford Arts Institute for the foundational work for Wanderlust, a full-length science fiction graphic novel.

Drag performer Kristi Yummykochi. A member of the Rice Rockettes, an Asian-American drag performance troupe founded in 2009, Yummykochi emphasizes that drag has “helped him come to terms with his true identity without feeling the constant pressure or need to feel judged.”
