Something Different From Gay City Arts: A Documentary Film Showcasing QTPOC Musicians

October 11, 2018• byMichael Strangeways

Normally, Gay City Arts showcases live performance pieces (plays, spoken word, monologues) in their monthly arts series in their Calamus Auditorium space. This month, they’re programming something a bit different; a new locally made documentary film that focuses on Queer and Trans People of Color musicians and singers. Made by Momma Nikki, the film highlights local artists like Tiffany Wilson, Falon Sierra, Nic Masangkay, Adra Boo, JusMoni, Thadayus Wilson, Nikkita “KO” Oliver, Monica Thomas of Occlusions, and Whitney Mongé.

It opens Thursday, October 11th and runs through the rest of the weekend with screenings at 7pm on Thurs/Fri/Sat and a 2pm screening on Sunday, October 14th. Grab tickets here and more info via Gay City Arts:

SEATTLE’S QTPOC MUSIC SCENE

Seattle QTPOC Music SceneSeattle’s QTPOC Music Scene
by Momma Nikki

October 11-14
7:00 PM

Momma Nikki will explore the challenges Queer and Trans People of Color (QTPOC) music artists face with having their voices heard and stories told, especially in mainstream music.

This is more than a debut of Momma Nikki’s documentary. This experience supports her initiative of creating space for QTPOC music artists.

What inspired you to create this documentary?
“As a QTPOC artist myself, I thought it was important to highlight other QTPOC artists in Seattle. I want Seattle to be known for more than just the first big names that come to peoples minds. Many times, QTPOC artists are overlooked, sidelined, and/or silenced. I want to help make that stop.How do you see the music scene growing for QTPOC artists in the future?
“If this documentary gives these and other QTPOC artists here in Seattle more open doors, then I’ve done my job. We have to fight for opportunities as people of color. And my hope is that venues and media here in Seattle will see that as well as others across the country.”

About the Author: Michael Strangeways

As the Editorial Director/Co-Owner, Michael Strangeways writes, edits and does about a million other jobs for Seattle Gay Scene, Puget Sound's most visited LGBTQ news, arts and entertainment website now celebrating its 14th year as a media outlet. A semi-proud Midwesterner by birth, he's lived in Seattle since 2000. He's also a film producer who would like you to check out the Jinkx Monsoon documentary, "Drag Becomes Him" now available on Amazon.com. In his spare time, he gets slightly obsessive about his love for old movies, challenging theater, "otters", vodka, chocolate, "I,Claudius", Lizzie Borden, real books made out of paper, disaster films, show tunes, Weimar era Germany, flea markets, pop surrealistic art, the sex lives of Hollywood actors both living and dead, kitties, chicken fried steak, haute couture and David Bowie. But, not necessarily in that order.
