Trans and Queer people are often treated as intangible — myths, projections, misunderstandings — but our lives are real and revolutionary acts. Through light, reflection, color, and form, Queer AF Ethereal Beings will immerse you in a world free of the fixed perceptions many try to impose.
Raja, winner of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 3 and queen of She Done Already Done Had Herses, will be headlining. Drag artists and other performers will light up the stage, and looks from an array of queer designers will shine. Queer AF is known for its community-grown runway, which recruits local models and uplifts people of all sizes, genders, identities, and abilities — this fashion show sends the message that all bodies are beautiful and worthy. Most importantly, the night is a fundraiser for the nonprofit Love Your Labels, which supports queer and trans young people as they explore personal expression, gender, and sexuality through fashion design.
How do you embody light? Bring your most mystical, otherworldly, dazzling self to Queer AF Ethereal Beings on Friday, Sept. 5, at Mechanics Hall in Worcester. Buy tickets now at queeraf.org. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m.
