Trans Temporal Resistances is the closing public program for Transition Times: Re-Membering Anticarceral Resistance in the Tenderloin, an archival exhibit contextualizing the 1966 Compton’s Cafeteria. Program curators Emji Saint Spero and Leila Weefur invite writers and artists to engage with trans archives and architectures through performance. 

This performance series, in collaboration with the TurkxTaylor Initiative, mirrors an open assemblage model. Emji Saint Spero and Leila Weefur invite writers and artists to deconstruct trans archives and architectures through textual and movement-based approaches. Situated within a district in which desire has historically been boundaried and confined, these performances engage Queer Time as an embodied strategy of resistance.

The first event invites three local writers, Tatiana Luboviski-Acosta, Mason J, and Rowan Powell, to take space at the Tenderloin Museum.
