Queer Abstract is a curated Monthly Performance Series highlighting QTPOC performers hosted and curated by Shannon Matesky. (QA) is place to showcase new work and celebrate each other, an attempt to blend party and performance communities to uplift and affirm fellowship, creativity and collaboration among the culture leaders of NYC. QA is a curated variety of singers, dancers, comedians, writers and any creative interested in getting down. Allies are welcomed and encouraged to affirm our magic, QTPOC are welcome and encouraged to fellowship, build and create!

BUFU (By Us For Us) is a collective of queer, femme, and nonbinary black and East Asian artists and organizers working to create a living archive centered around global conversations between black and Asian diasporas, with an emphasis on solidarity, de-centering whiteness, and resurfacing our deeply interconnected and complicated histories.
