Pink Pony Rodeo
DJ Boi Orbison’s queer party Neon Rainbows revives this combo platter of pop sugar and country grits for another boogie-woogie through Chups. From a crossover DJ duel between Boi and visiting DFW DJ Casstevens, attending cowpokes can knock boots to the beats of Chappell Roan, Beyoncé, the Chicks, Dolly Parton, and more. Lavender Thug wrangles all aspiring singers inside for Cuntry Karaoke, and surprise drag pop-ups keep all bandanna-wrapped necks on a swivel. Dress code requires salmon, flamingo, bubblegum: you know, all-pink outfits! – James ScottFri., May 2 -

PJ Raval + UT Austin’s Queer Media Production Screening
Queer culture is under attack, and many institutions seem to be folding rather than lending their support. Not so UT’s Radio-Television-Film program, as the film school continues to spotlight marginalized voices. Like the long-running East Austin Stories class, Call Her Ganda filmmaker PJ Raval’s Queer Media Production course empowers students to tell lesser-told stories, here by “embrac[ing] queerness as an artistic sensibility, mode of artmaking, and a form of creative boundary pushing.” Catch the work of Raval’s students at this special one-night showing of their original short films, and read more about it in this week’s Qmmunity coulmn. Oh, and make sure to bring a dish for the potluck. – Richard WhittakerFri., May 2 -

“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. -
