"Novelist and Reichardt's frequent artistic collaborator Jon Raymond will attend three screenings (Wendy and Lucy, Meek's Cutoff, Showing Up) and offer post-viewing Q&As. If you missed Reichardt's The Mastermind (2025), you'll have another shot on March 22."
"In 1966, a group of trans women stood up to police who were targeting and harassing them, in an all-night restaurant in the Tenderloin neighborhood called Gene Compton's Cafeteria. Someone allegedly threw a cup of coffee in an officer's face. What happened next? Prolific playwright Mikki Gillette penned Riot Queens to bring us up to speed, based on her own extensive research."
"Wise's last two exhibitions at Chefas Projects, Hair of the Banshee and Hands that Hold the Melting Rope, populated neon-hued acrylic compositions with cool girls, Irish banshees, and shadowy flora. Meet Me at the Mothership brings together more of Wise's lucid dreams in painting form."
Clinton Street Theater dedicates March to Pacific Northwest director Kelly Reichardt, screening her films with novelist Jon Raymond, her frequent collaborator, attending three screenings for post-viewing discussions. Back Door Theater presents Riot Queens, a play by Mikki Gillette exploring the 1966 Compton Cafeteria Riots when trans women resisted police harassment in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood. The production offers queer community-centered art during a critical cultural moment. Chefas Projects displays Emily Wise's visual art exhibition Meet Me at the Mothership, continuing her signature style of neon-hued acrylic compositions populated with surreal imagery, inspired by Utah's desert terrain and exploring multivalent themes through lucid dream-like paintings.
