Black queer joy is powerful and influential. It brings us together, gives us connection, and changes the world. Activating Sadie Barnette’s The New Eagle Creek Saloon, Queer Revolutions showcases local queer DJs and features their guest-curated evenings filled with performance, music, and collective power. Paired with drinks by local bartending collective Mama San, each Queer Revolution shakes the walls of the Walker with local queer expression.
Join us for a night of Rhythm, beats, and grooves by YASMEENAH. A space for movement, HiFi sounds, and live visuals by Shawna Lee.
Everyone is welcome. Must be 21+ for alcohol. The program is free, but space is limited. Entry is not guaranteed.

Bios
A first-generation Somali American DJ, curator, and arts & culture organizer based in South Minneapolis, the ethereal and joyous Yasmeenah is a multidisciplinary creative. She is not afraid to reflect the times, while prioritizing Black joy and celebration on the continuous path toward liberation. She has garnered international praise and attention through her DJ sets in support of Rina Sawayma, DJ Minx, Ash Lauryn, Kush Jones, and many others. Yasmeenah has curated exhibits for Hennepin Theatre Trust and Franconia Sculpture Park, and is also the cofounder of TimeCapsule, a virtually curated print zine and exhibit that uplifts Black and Queer futures. Yasmeenah lives and examines the intersections of creation, music, queerness, and Blackness as she believes art is essential for radical movements.
