RADAR is a non-profit literary arts organization in the San Francisco Bay Area that supports Queer and Trans Black, Indigenous, and Artists of Color by producing, developing, and presenting innovative scholarly and creative work. Since 2003, RADAR has served a regional community of artists with a specific focus beginning in 2015 on Queer and Trans Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (QTBIPOC) literary artists and creatives.

Drawing from the legacies of our Queer and Trans ancestors and living legends, our programs empower artists and audiences to work with their innate and cultivated gifts in efforts to challenge mainstream beliefs and continue redefining queer culture, feminism, race, class, access, and equity. During the COVID pandemic, we have honed in on presenting pop-up pandemic-safer performances online for those who are housebound as a result of immigration status, immunocompromised status, disability status, or neurodiversity, and in person at small venues, historic LGBTQ2S+ and BIPOC bars, and the sites of former galleries to envision a California where we work with existing vitality instead of trying to homogenize and destroy it.
