I’m a Taiwanese trans masc multi disciplinary performer. I perform my personal concepts through dance, music (trumpet), and am influenced by many of my friends who are drag performers.

rock music, fun with different time signatures. my most recent EP “Nature Walk” explores themes of social anxiety, interaction with nature animals and the outdoors as comforting and relaxing spaces but also places of selfish decadence where ppl end up destroying the spaces in the process of enjoying them.

Hi! I’m Rae, I use a combination of found sound and synthesis to deliver messages of joy to whoever will listen. I mainly produce techno and house music, but I’m also known to get weird with my violin and create delicately unfolding ambient soundscapes. I like to tailor my compositions towards the space and audience it will be received in, and I’m applying because I feel like it would be good for my soul to be around a whole gaggle of other gender nonconforming creatives ✨

I am a 21 year old nonbinary first gen Filipinx creative :0) I dabble in jewelry making as a space for self expression, solace, community, and healing.

Join House of Kilig at Enby Party to celebrate a works-in-process showing of Harana for The Aswang! Starting at 8PM, we will show a film excerpt of our BASE residency experience (edited by V Babida) with a poem animation digitally produced by Arabella Bautista. Following this viewing, there will be a dance excerpt performed by Gaby Colon. Stay at the end to hear about our upcoming workshop and to listen to a short Q+A about our experience!

Harana for the Aswang is an audio-visual-performance work centered on queering the research of harana, a Filipinx-Ilocano-Southern Americas diasporic serenade song form rooted in courtship and grief rituals. Aswang is an umbrella term for various shape-shifting, mythological, animist, folkloric, “evil” spirits and creatures in Filipino folklore. Harana for the Aswang is researched through 7 different Aswang archetypes, starting with the Siren archetype. This research modernizes Aswang spirits to those who root into our intersectional QT diasporic lives.

I am a 22-year-old non-binary Trans man emerging visual artist and experimental 16mm filmmaker. In Disfigured Flames (2023), two transmascs rise from a claw-foot bathtub filled with homemade soy milk, I eco-processed the film itself in soy milk as well. The characteristic white liquid is reminiscent of artificial beings and cyborgs in dystopian Sci-Fi: bridging the gap between natural and constructed or human and artificial. I confront my audience with their enforced cognitive separation of transgender and cisgender bodies along false lines of “genetics” and “biology.” A prevalent motif around the first world war was the Dance of Death, which I use to warn of the blistering infection of tech corporations in Seattle and the genocide of trans people in America.

I do various forms of banana art, this would sort of be like my interactive art at SEAF but basically it would be more like banana therapy, where people write or draw their woes or hopes on a banana and then proceed to interact with it to release their emotional expressions. My participants have found this to be extremely emotionally gratifying and it brings so much joy to me.
