Coco Cxnts feat. Abhora
Up high on Coco Club’s roof is a drag brunch most divine. The party put on by cast members Arinna Dior Hays, Brigitte Bandit, Bohemia, and Honey Baby pleases locals all year round, but visitors are in for a special treat this weekend. Joining the cast for Bohemia’s special b-day bash is reality show star Abhora from The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula Titans – giving you a good morning scare. Throw in DJ sets from Turito and Nightbus, a Little Gay Shop pop-up, and maybe a Caribbean treat from Traphouse ATX and that’s a pretty freakin’ sick Saturday, babe. – James ScottSat., March 8 -

“Transcendence: A Century of Black Queer Ecstasy, 1924-2024”
Across politics and pop culture, depictions of queer Black life most often emphasize pain, if not patronization. “Transcendence: A Century of Black Queer Ecstasy,” a multimedia exhibition presented by UT-Austin’s Art Galleries at Black Studies, flips the script, offering a century’s worth of works that focus instead on Black joy. Organized around seven themes – Portraiture, Beyond Figuration, Dance and Movement, Spirituality, Sex and Sensuality, Black Queer Futures, and Altered States – the works of over four dozen artists remind us that even in the face of adversity, we can achieve transcendence. – Carys AndersonThrough May 9Christian-Green Gallery, 201 E. 21st St. & Idea Lab, 210 W. 24th St. -
