QTIPOC are living mythologies, shifting the narratives and paradigms of our current world into a new one. Through the performances of four femmes of color – Chella Coleman, Edxie Betts, Reyna Ripper, and Jose Richard – strung together by the musical narration of Shruti Purkayastha, "Living Mythologies" creates layered truths for other Queer, Trans, Intersex People of Color, allowing us to access intuition and imagination for a new paradigm.
