Fear Street

With Netflix‘s Fear Street trilogy kicking off tomorrow, the streaming service is taking things to the next level with a special “Queer Street” event in Austin, Texas!

The event is part of a weekend-long celebration of the LGBTQ+ community with local queer artists, musicians and businesses. The event will feature a live “Queer Street” mural painting by Xavier Schipani and DJ sets by Boyfriend ATX, Sin Morera, La Morena, Winona Grindr, and Suxxy Puxxy. There will also be special performances by P1nkstar, Y2K, Gothess Jasmine, Noodles, Ruby Knight, Mandy Quinn, Tatiana Cholula, and Workout! with Erica Nix.

Our very own Trace Thurman (and co-host of the Horror Queers Podcast) will act as the event’s MC, serving as much queer fear realness as he can in the hopes of keeping up with the event’s extremely talented performers. It’s going to be a fright to remember!

This event is free and open to the public. Details listed below.

AUSTIN, TEXAS

Date: Sunday, July 11

Time: 3pm – 7pm CT

Locations: Coconut Club (310B Colorado St) & Neon Grotto (318 Colorado St)

Queer Street

Muralist Xavier Shipani has participated in shows during Art Basel, The Whitney Museum, Subliminal Projects and has an installation in the permanent collection at the McNay Museum. Over the past few years, the now Austin based artist has focused his practice on creating playful installations that explore the boundaries of gender, sexuality and queer identity. Schipani’s unique voice and personal connection to the themes of his work create intimate experiences in combination with a larger than life scale to establish a contrast between the work and the viewer. He continues to investigate fear and anger, masculinity as performance and the ambiguity of what makes a man.

A separate event will also be taking place on Saturday, July 10th in New York:

NEW YORK

Date: Saturday, July 10th 

Time: 3 – 7 PM PST

Locations: C’mon Everybody 325 Franklin Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11238
