The vitals:
4:00 ~ Doors
4:30 ~ WAKE presented by OUTsider Fest

Part requiem, part reckoning, WAKE is a ritual for transformation. Filmed during the 2024 Los Angeles premiere, Filipino American artist Jay Carlon steps into the ring of memory and ancestry, confronting grief both personal and inherited. What begins as a solo act becomes a public rite: a prayer, a provocation, a body in resistance.

Created in collaboration with experimental sound artist Micaela Tobin and featuring the late láwû makuriye’nte, whose performance brought radical depth and presence to this work; a singular moment now preserved on film and shared with the OUTsider community with whom they were so deeply embedded.

All proceeds from this event will go towards funding a queer filipinx artist in a future OUTsider showcase.
