Celebrate the start of TBA:22 at our Opening Night with a headlining performance by renowned Los Angeles-based musician San Cha. This visual and musical performance will highlight original compositions and interpretations of Mexican mariachi and bolero standards in San Cha’s signature style that blends and queers a multitude of forms while showcasing her captivating costumes and stunning stage presence. The party doesn’t stop there; San Cha’s kick-off performance will be followed by DJ sets by Dez Ramirez, aka La Cosmica, and Diana Suarez, aka Buena Suerte (of Portland’s Noche Libre, a Latine femme DJ collective). Gather at PICA with artists, curators, guest scholars, and new friends and old to embrace the Festival. With indoor and outdoor spaces, make a night of it with our on-site bar, limited-edition merch, and late summer dance party vibes. Opening Night of TBA is where it all begins—don’t miss out!
