David Longstreth of The Dirty Projectors will serve as the evening’s music director. “It’s a privilege to feature this extraordinary project and celebrate the trans community alongside the Red Hot Organization’s inspiring legacy at the Getty, especially as our exhibitions right now are centered on expansive expressions of queer love,” said Sarah Cooper, Getty performance programs specialist. “Ever Present is a place to honor the voices and histories that are always with us in this diverse world, even if they are not always visible in the dominant narratives of our institutions.” Guests will make their way through the museum, enjoying an experimental garden performance featuring Nina Keith’s gravity instrument, the Periphone. On the garden terrace, André 3000’s TRAИƧA contribution will play against a backdrop of original visuals as audience members make their way past historic Red Hot materials including artwork and videos, before the evening concludes with a two-hour musical performance. ONE Archives—home to the world’s largest collection of LGBTQ+ materials—will also create a pop-up reading room celebrating trans and non-binary histories. With production beginning in 2021, and over 100 artists contributing, TRAИƧA marks one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by Red Hot - a spiritual journey across 8 chapters and 46 songs, spotlighting the gifts of many of the most daring, imaginative trans and non-binary artists working today. The sprawling collection of original and covers features the first Sade song in 6-years, a 265-minute André 3000 piece, ANOHNI, Sam Smith, Laura Jane Grace, Hunter Schafer, Teddy Geiger, Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Yaeji, Julien Baker, Clairo, and many more.
