TRANSMARSH
Premiered June 25 & 26, 2026 at Turk and Taylor & Timbri Hotel
A queer micro-festival and block party featuring Oaklash, Javier Stell Frésquez, Skywatchers, BODYSTORM, Mojo Carter, 7000COILS, and Princess Bouton, with the world premiere of BODYSTORM's TRANSMARSH, featuring B Dean, Pangaea, and tome. Rewilding the Tenderloin with the memory of the salt marshes and the Compton's Cafeteria uprising at the intersection of Turk and Taylor, TRANSMARSH calls on the social and ecological history of the site to ask how we grieve the past, adapt to the present, and move through the coming storms together.

“That show is here, is now in the way that history is here, is now. It completely revived it. All the moments that have happened in this place is present. There was a police riot before the show. Yet another energetic cycle resurfacing and what do we do when we dig it up? We fly. We elevate trans bodies. They float through the sky and hold each other.”

“This was so beautiful and brought me to tears after all the harm that happened throughout the [Trans] March. It was like you all were defying gravity to express care for each other.”
