#SLAYFESTNYC is an inclusive arts and culture festival for queer/trans/non-binary POC. A hub for forward thinking styles and looks, highlighting the most dope and innovative artists. We are shifting and remaking the image of culture and affirming how the LGBTQ+ community will exist and transform the future. 

SLAYFEST seeks to inspire and radically redefine the narratives presented for and by QTPOC. While creating gatherings and shared spaces to celebrate and uplift. This year we are remembering the past and looking forward to experiencing the NEW FUTURE.
