Studio Sessions

Music has the power to gather us, heal us, and connect us. Historically, sonic gathering spaces have been at the heart of revolutionary movements. They were spaces where individuals, particularly from marginalized communities, could fully express and be seen, and where the artificial barriers between people could be broken down by a unifying rhythm.

FUTURE IS COLOR Studio sessions is our weekly live music experience and sonic gathering space rooted on these principles of bringing community together in love. 

RIVA

RIVA is a saxophonist and composer, known to juxtapose the jazz idiom with modern beat culture, techno, house, disco, and just about anything that makes the heart pump a bit faster. He performs with a sextet that is invested in engaging in sonic conversation to find new lanes of expression, adjacent to the foundations they studied, to elevate a high energy, fully improvisational and danceable electronic jazz show.

Lambda Archives

The mission of the Lambda Archives of San Diego is to collect, preserve, and share the history of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people in San Diego, Northern Baja California and the Imperial County region.
