About


"A Night at the Orfelia" is an art show staged in a nightclub in 2054 that ecstatically envisions the sloppy, utopian, and queer future. In a time of trans persecution and churning discourse around technology, we want to remind people that the future isn ’t inevitable. We know that we can create the queer euphoria of future decades. 
We’re a community of creative queer futurists spanning Detroit, Chicago, and Minneapolis and a variety of media, from fiber art to generative design. We’ve invited artists to share what in today's world leaves them aching for something different and take you along to explore the alternatives.
