Miami, FL – June 1, 2023 – The community kicked off National Pride Month at Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM)! Guests enjoyed an evening of panel discussions, music, and live performances with our partners III Points Festival and Wynwood Pride.

The first panel, Reclaiming the Underground: The Power of Queer Music and Community Building, featured Wynwood Pride Co-Founder Jor-El Garcia, Mokibaby, Mother Monica of QueerParties, Ultrathem of Internet Friends, SATURNSARii of Perreo Del Futuro, and Pressure Point, moderated by Pola Bunster. They discussed the state of music in the underground scene, and how to create and nurture queer spaces.

The second panel, Fighting For Our Art: How Drag Performers are Breaking Down Barriers in the Face of Discrimination, featured some of Miami’s top drag entertainers including Athena Dion, Kat Wilderness, King Femme, Lady Paraiso, and Opal Am Rah, moderated by Regina Cocoa. They shared their views on the recent bans and discriminatory legislation being introduced in the state of Florida and across the country.

Following the panels, guests joined us on the waterfront terrace to celebrate Miami’s LGBTQIA+ community with a live DJ set by Mystic Bill and a special performance by Kat Wilderness.
