Join us on Zoom as Teen Night, our teen-led program centered on art and activism, goes virtual! Inspired by Lorraine O’Grady: Both/And and John Edmonds: A Sidelong Glance, this teen-led evening highlights queer and trans artists and healers of color who are using their practices for community liberation.

Schedule:

• 5 pm Welcome: Settle in for the evening with a keynote message from Zion Spencer, a spiritual healing artist and former BkM Teen.
• 5:10 pm Art and Healing Galleria: Connect with artists, healers, and spiritual practitioners who are using ancestral knowledge and artistic practice to uplift queer community. With Seyi Adebanjo, Khenpo 10, Suhaly Bautista-Carolina, and Abuela Taught Me.
• 5:30 pm Vibe Check: Join our BkM Teen MCs for conversation and Pride trivia!
• 5:40 pm Panel Discussion: In “Art and Ancestry: Leading Queer Legacies,” artists Ka-Man Tse and Salvador Muñoz discuss how they use art to connect different aspects of their identities and histories, moderated by BkM Teens.
• 6:25 pm Performances: Catch performances by writer and activist Lama, spoken word artist Maud (a.k.a. The Dainty Funk), musician ZAI, and more!
