BEYOND THE VEIL 

A Femme Rage Art-Ritual

Saturday, October 24, 2026 | 2:30-5pm
Cousin Studio 301 8 St. #245 San Francisco

The veil is thin. The ancestors are talking. And we’ve all been holding so much.

Join Femme Rage for a gentle, intentional art-ritual exploring the selves we carry within us: the parts that protect us, the parts that have been wounded, and the parts still asking to be witnessed, understood, and transformed.

This event centers Femme and QTBIPOC folks. We welcome people of ALL identities to join us in their Rage & Release

What to Expect

We’ll begin with screenings of two original films; Femme Rage and Femme Release, intimate explorations of what happens when we give our rage space to speak, move, and transform. Together, the films create a shared language for exploring rage, release, and reclamation, inviting us to listen more closely to what lives beyond the veil. We’ll then carry that reflection into a hands-on mask-making ritual, exploring two parts of ourselves: our protector selves and our wounded selves.

Using paint, fabric, collage, and other dimensional materials, you’ll adorn a paper mask that gives shape to these parts of yourself. What does your protector look like? What has it learned to guard? What does your wounded self carry? What might these selves have to say to one another?

At the end of our time together, we’ll take a Polaroid portrait of you with your mask (or of the mask itself) Your portrait becomes an artifact of the ritual: something to bring home, sit with, return to, and incorporate into future rituals or personal reflection as you continue deepening your understanding of these parts of yourself.

No art experience is necessary. Come exactly as you are. We’ll provide the materials, guidance, and space to create
