Tonight! Darqness: A Queer And Trans People Of Color Party W/ Miss Tangq

Welcome to the March edition of DARQNESS: a queer and trans people of color party at MAXIM's. Come and dance with fellow QTPOC in a safer space to the hottest hiphop, r&b, dancehall, latin, club, house, and more, provided by MISS TANGQ and DARQNESS resident REVEREND DOLLARS. 21+/$5 MISS TANGQ is a multi-media synesthetic artist and first-generation mystic-nerd. She is deeply inspired by the hyphenated experience and explores this through visual art, installation, fashion and DJing to create cross-sensory and multi-disciplinary work. She is a traveler in the margins and crossroads of both identity and the terrestrial to astral experience. She believes in the fertile power of these places to remix our perceptions of and connection to the world. She loves to sing on her bike and plot what she's going to eat next. Dancing is one of her favorite forms of space travel. www.misstangq.com REVEREND DOLLARS is a Seattle-based DJ/producer who is the resident DJ and organizer of DARQNESS: a queer and trans people of color party, and whose most recent release, Arson EP, was praised by The Stranger as "a cauldron of peak-time, fast-twitch bass music, blazing with party-igniting exhortations, airhorns, A+ funk samples, and heavy-weight-champ percussion." https://www.facebook.com/reverenddollars https://soundcloud.com/reverenddollars https://twitter.com/reverenddollars The Space: MAXIM's is owned and operated by queer women of color: "We believe Maxim's belong to the community, and we cater to the needs of the community, because we understand that there is no unity without a community. Maxim's is a safe, loving space to socialize, while feeling the positive vibe and healing powers from music and laughter." Accountability statement: DARQNESS is intended as a safer space for queer and trans people of color, organized by QTPOC, as an alternative to queer spaces where our needs, safety, and comfort are not prioritized. Allies and fellow partygoers are asked to acknowledge and respect the QTPOC-centric nature of the space. Please be respectful of fellow partygoers' boundaries or you will be asked to leave. Transportation: On Rainier, near the corner of Rainier and Orcas. Accessible by 7 and 9 buses. Accessibility info: Maxim's is not currently set up to accommodate wheelchair accessibility. All bathrooms will be gender-neutral for this event. Partygoers are asked to reduce their use of scented products. Please contact for more info: Jarreau Greene 425-387-4449 rodneyjgreene86@gmail.com
