ABOUT TOXIC WASTE FACE
Toxic Waste Face is a trio of radical, queer, multi-disciplinary artists exploring the contemporary human condition by way of full-fantasy theatrical activations, original music, and hyper-stylized video installations. Known for their otherworldly makeup, avant-garde costumes, and a penchant for organized chaos, Toxic Waste Face holds a mirror up to reality and then promptly smashes it to the ground. Existing simultaneously in the art world and the queer nightlife circuit, Toxic Waste Face creates work that is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking, using tools like camp and parody to communicate some very real existential observations. The collective is composed of three members: Jader, Pseuda, and Scam Likely.
ABOUT SOMARTS CULTURAL CENTER
SOMArts Cultural Center, founded in 1979, cultivates access to the arts within the Bay Area by collaborating with community-focused artists and organizations. Together, we engage the power of the arts to provoke just and fair inclusion, cultural respect and civic participation.
SOMArts plays a vital role in the arts ecosystem by helping activate the arts citywide. We do this by providing space and production support for non-profit events, as well as fairs and festivals throughout the Bay Area, and offering a robust program of art exhibitions, classes, events and performances that are affordable and accessible to all. SOMArts’ exhibition programs receive critical support from the San Francisco Arts Commission and The San Francisco Foundation, and are sponsored in part by a grant from Grants for the Arts.
SOMArts is located at 934 Brannan Street—between 8th and 9th—within 2 blocks of 101, I-80, Muni lines and bike paths.
