CLUB 2561 (2026)—inspired by radical queer organizing of the 1970s-90s, queer club culture, and my last decade spent moving between organizing and nightlife—is an homage to queer time—resistance, love, fuckery, and everything in between—and a portal into queer lineage, memory, and political transformation. CLUB 2561 is my bridge between absence and presence, past and future, where the stage becomes the only place where my life, emotions, and political commitments come together.

Genre-bending and disciplinarily defiant, much like the broad-based coalitions that inspired its conception, CLUB 2561 offers a commentary on current political consciousness and organizing. At CLUB 2561, we reject white walls and linear straight time. 25:61 is an impossible time on the 24-hour clock, yet it is an impossibility that already exists within us. Unannounced activations will take place…. because at CLUB 2561, we’re on queer time, baby! The project statement can be found here and the curated CLUB 2561 playlist, curated from oral histories about queer clubs in the 70s-90s, which was playing throughout the exhibition, can be found here.

My hope is that this show travels — to clubs, alongside parties, and in alternative community spaces — so queer youth can step inside and feel called to learn about our queer lineages. Pieces were selected to be exhibited and activated at iconic queer DJ Victor Rodriguez’s Pájaro party on April 25 in Los Angeles.
