Continental Breakfast
Continental Breakfast is a non-binary multidisciplinary artist, event curator and Director of media production company, Queer Based Media. They are Beardy’s and Okemasis Cree and are a settler on the stolen lands of the Txʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. Conti is self taught within the mediums of film, photography, drag performance art, design, and production. Their artistic practice looks at untold queer stories and histories along with complicating intersections of identity through moments of relatability and creating spaces of refuge. They are a member of the Darlings, a non-binary drag performance art collective in so-called Vancouver.
Persephone Estradiol
Persephone Estradiol (she/they) is an Oji-Cree Saulteaux from Sapotaweyak Cree Nation. One of the resident dieties of The Birdhouse, she brings emotions, flowing outfits and commanding performances. An Indigiqueer conduit for the impending utopia.
DJ Bella
Bella Sie (they/them/their) is an established DJ and Event Producer from Vancouver, BC. Powered by love for the LGBTQ2+ community that they represent, Bella brings life to every party whether they are DJing a set or producing the event.
You might recognize Bella as the resident DJ and co-producer of Ricecake (Vancouver’s premiere queer & Asian dance party), and you’ll soon never forget them once you’ve experienced their brilliant energy on stage and behind the scenes.
