Queers And Comrades Archive Club 04.23

A monthly space for Trans & Queer Comrades to chat about best practices in archiving and facilitate the digitization of physical records. We know we are the keepers of our own histories & caretakers of our collective dreams. To ensure our descendents can find us in the future, we’re hosting monthly space for Trans & Queer artists, organizers, culture tenders / keepers, families, ethnographers, storytellers, & media makers to chat about best practices in archiving, facilitate the digitization of physical records, & make connections with archives & archivists. Hosted by Jason Wyman / Queerly Complex. **** Queerly Complex (@queerlycomplex) and Queer Art Club (@queer_art_club) are pairing up to gather trans-queer-nonbinary Bay Area comrades in a weekly offering spanning generations, identities, expressions, and communities. Every Thursday starting 15 January 2026, 465 Collective’s Gallery and Lounge will be a site of art making, conversating, and organizing rooted in trans-queer-nonbinary mutual care. Queer Art Club takes over the Gallery from 5:30 to 7:30 and will facilitate a different art project each week while also providing additional art supplies so everyone can make what strikes their fancy. Queerly Complex is partnering with Realest Exposure (@realestexposure) / Tray Smith (@trayareal1), Filthy Studios (@filithystudios_)/ Fivestar (@iamfivestar), and Crystal Mason / Tree of Change to offer weekly themed clubs (see below for more details) in the Lounge from 7 to 9pm rooted in their Tree of Change Praxis of cultivating Power-With. Outside will be a Mutual Aid table distributing food, water, clothes, and other basic necessities to anyone who needs them.
