As an Ohlone land (Bay Area) -based network of artist activists, cultural workers, and community organizers, we are better at reaching hearts and minds on stage with a microphone than a megaphone. Our next-level innovations include:
-Peacock Productions, trans centered artist development and touring performing, visual, literary, and media arts;
-Peacock Institute, an arts-activism social transformation school that trains TQBIPOC artists in arts advocacy, serving on grant panels, and advancing TQBIPOC equity.
-Nationally, we co-anchor the Trans BIPOC Arts Network, with our core partners RARE Productions and TransLash Media.
– Provide TBIPOC –affirming consulting and coaching to artists on social media content, website user experience, writing press releases, web and social media content marketing, community engagement, outreach, and event promotion.

As one of the longest-running TQBIPOC centered and led arts organizations in the nation, we have learned much over the years from mentors and colleagues. In that tradition, we continue to act as a resource for other BIPOC led organizations, artists, and cultural leaders. This includes individual meetings, calls to support leaders in troubleshooting situations, or preparing for new leadership opportunities.

Our programs use the arts to examine systemic violence and to heal TQBIPOC communities from the trauma of experiencing multiple forms of harm in our day-to-day lives. Our productions advance crip cultures where TQBIPOC hold power and agency over how our stories are told, and nudge audiences to act to interrupt violence against and within our communities.

Consistently sold-out productions, community feedback, and awards from the Transgender Day of Remembrance (Movement-Builder Award), Best of the East Bay (Most Historic Cultural Event, Best Building Transformation, and Best QTPOC Performance-Activist), YBCA 100 (“100 people, organizations and movements shaping the future of culture”) and KQED (#BayBrilliant list of “10 artists who comprise the Bay Area’s soul”) show widespread community support.
