Boy Mode is a short film about Reese, a closeted trans woman, coming out for a second time. Set in a dystopian, post-drag ban Oklahoma, this narrative drama will employ drag entertainers from Oklahoma City to work cast and crew positions, mentored alongside film professionals. We hope to foster conversations about gender dysphoria and euphoria, and provide an intimate, wondrous look into queerness. Blending multiple mediums, it is a collaboration between the OKC drag scene, Oklahoma queer visual artists, and Oklahoma filmmakers. It will feature visual art about drag, with queer voices in front of the camera and behind it.

TOTEM: As Monument & Archive is a workshop and lecture series designed to offer historical and contemporary context for the Ed Galloway Totem Pole Park. Activists, contemporary artists, curators, journalists, historians, and art historians are among some of the voices that parse out themes such as monumentality, the archive, vernacular art environments, tourism, Oklahoma history, Native policy, and cultural appropriation. Centering the voice of the Native community activates a much needed conversation around local history, cultural appropriation, and accountability. This series intends to generate interpretation methods so that the site can be a space of education, dialogue, and respect.

Practice Practice is an accessible network of resources for artists, created by Isa Rodriguez and Dylan Cale Jones. It includes a workbook, newsletter, and podcast. Artists are taught to prioritize production and commercial success over everything—including relationships, rest, and mental health. This is harmful and unsustainable. We encourage artists to transform their creative practices by defining success for themselves. Our goal is to help artists build practices that align with their values. We envision creativity working in harmony with other important aspects of life. Practice Practice highlights definitions of success that balance sustainability, community, and individual well-being.

The Promised Land imagines: what if Oklahoma had entered the U.S. as an all-black state? Consulting with local residents of Oklahoma's 14 incorporated all-black towns and Greenwood, we will co-create a flag that represents this dream of 40 acres and a mule that Indian and Oklahoma Territories once promised to African Americans after the Civil War. The co-creation process includes informal and formal conversations with town leaders, residents and culture bearers, intergenerational visioning workshops, and participatory decision-making. By sharing Black Speculative dreaming practices, our desired outcome is to co-create a beautiful flag to present to the residents of all-Black Towns in Oklahoma that represents their collective vision of the Promised Land.
