With support from the California Arts Council Tuning4Armageddon (T4A) brings multimedia artists and cultural bearers into collaboration with land-based housing collectives to create lasting housing, home-grown food, and cultural hubs that center low-income, queer, Black, Bay Area artists in times of escalating climate, health, and financial disasters.
Currently, Jubilee July’s core program is Tuning4Armageddon, an annual laboratory that brings SF Bay Area creators into collaboration with place-based housing collectives, to co-evolve long term solutions to living and creating in the Bay Area. Jubilee July has been organizing creative community platforms since 2017 in collaboration with LXS DXS, NAKA Dance Theater, Cave/Coast Collective, Vivid Grove, Circo Zero and ABD/Skywatchers. Communities reached include small business owners, culture collectives, business incubators, non-profits based in the Mission and Tenderloin Districts, DEI experts, college students and housing unstable populations. Creative collaborations have taken many forms, including as laboratories, workshops, residencies, and performances.
Previously Jubilee July’s solo performative research explored themes of boundaries and connection, interpretation, mis-interpretation, and the sacred disorientation that comes with navigating difference and change. Typically interactive, Jubilee’s performance work invites audiences into sensuous joy, deep sadness, and driving anger with the underpinning belief that spiritual acceptance and physical embodiment of lived realities provokes a natural creative reaction, change.
