Aaron Wojack (Fair Use)
THEATRE: In collaboration with 500 Capp Street's "Shifting Possessions," join us for a spiritual drag show (of sorts): an elegantly bombastic remix of the traditional high-energy, high-stakes, centuries-old hau bong Mother Goddess ceremony, followed by a panel discussion with Headlands Bay Area Fellow, Việt Lê, Ha Noi-based master spirit-medium/shaman-priest Bin Vuong, and Janet Hoskins, Professor of Anthropology and Religion at University of Southern California.

In collaboration with 500 Capp Street’s “Shifting Possessions,” join us for a spiritual drag show (of sorts): an elegantly bombastic remix of the traditional high-energy, high-stakes, centuries-old hau bong Mother Goddess ceremony, followed by a panel discussion with Headlands Bay Area Fellow, Việt Lê, Ha Noi-based master spirit-medium/shaman-priest Bin Vuong, and Janet Hoskins, Professor of Anthropology and Religion at University of Southern California. Putting the “trans” in “transcendence,” and making it rain (like in da club), this evening’s event will center queer ritual in Southeast Asia, its diasporas, and worlds beyond.
