Raveena, Renao
In press for her latest album, Raveena said, “Butterflies are so delicate that they have to hide in leaves and flowers until the rain passes so that their wings don’t get crushed in the rain.” Where the Butterflies Go in the Rain channels that delicate beauty in sound and subject matter. On a lush, polished R&B record, the Punjabi singer-songwriter fuses funk bass with cinematic strings and her stacked, choirlike vocals to ponder love, loss, and grief – from confessional “Pluto” to Palestinian freedom song “Rise” – with a buoyancy that keeps her lyrical depths afloat. Bangalore-born singer Renao opens. – Carys AndersonWed., June 4, 7:30pm -

Saving Face (2005)
I’m a sucker for intergenerational stories, particularly if they’re about parents and kids dealing with romance. There’s a real fun chaos to the idea: parents having to commiserate with their kid over dating troubles, forcing a new equality of situation into a historically uneven power dynamic. In director Alice Wu’s debut feature, protag Wil (Michelle Krusiec, Duplex) must take in her pregnant mother (Joan Chen, Twin Peaks), whose unwed status has her on the outs with her father. While Wil’s in the closet with her mom, she becomes enamored with her boss’ daughter (Lynn Chen, a five-episode recurring doctor on Grey’s Anatomy), who butts heads with her own father over choosing modern dance over ballet. Social expectations get broken; love comes from unexpected places; and hearts do change, even if it takes a little while. – James ScottJune 2 & 4 -

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 (2014)
Feeling a bit dystopian in the current political climate? Check out the first half of the original Hunger Games series finale for all the inspiration you need for your counterrevolutionary activities. While Katniss Everdeen fights President Snow’s dictatorial regime in Panem, we, too, fight the establishment – one map labeled the Gulf of Mexico at a time. Whether a member of the revolution, a fan of dystopian science fiction, or complicated love triangles, this movie has it all. – Julianna PlewesJune 2 & 4

Christopher Cascio: “Portals”
Patterns. Repetition. The compulsory need for the same, over and over, until you’re led somewhere else. In second-time Ivester gallery artist Christopher Cascio’s newest solo exhibition, he explores both the pattern and the escape – a portal within every piece. His paintings combine aerosol and acrylic paint with more textural elements like masking tape, found fabric, and concert wristbands to form various repeating images anchored by centralized portals both obvious and obscure. And so, Cascio’s canvases “[invite] viewers to consider these moments as thresholds, interruptions in the pattern that offer space for reflection, transformation, or escape.” – James ScottMay 31 - June 5 -

Divina: Noche Drag Latinx
At the start of her drag career, Divina host Tatiana Cholula told Qmmunity she’d be critiqued for not assimilating enough “American” culture into her acts. “Before I started Divina,” she said, “the scene was rich in amazing Latinx drag performers and artists, but there weren’t any spaces focused on them or they didn’t feel comfortable performing certain songs at certain spaces.” Thankfully, Tatiana did start Divina, and now every other Wednesday you’ll see Oilcan Harry’s stage taken over by the spirits of Latina legends like Gloria Estefan and Paulina Rubio – courtesy of local Latinx drag talent. – James ScottEvery Wednesday -
