Speculative design gives us a way in. It makes the unimaginable tangible. Maybe it's currency from a ca re economy\, a report card from a school that values different intelligenc es\, or product packaging from a company accountable to seven generations ahead. Whatever form it takes\, the artifact will exist in a world organiz ed around care\, relationship\, and collective power. Tracee Worley\, foun der of Radical Futures\, will share the methodology she used to create Sen eca Falls 2048\, a speculative project featuring artifacts from the 200th anniversary of the first women's rights convention. Then participants will make their own artifacts from a matriarchal future. What you'll do: Learn how speculative design makes futures tangible Work with matriarchal wisdo m as a creative framework Create a physical artifact from a matriarchal fu ture Share your work with the group Leave with ideas for bringing this met hod to your community What to bring: Willingness to imagine radically A ph one\, tablet\, or laptop to play the card game Craft materials will be pro vided\, but feel free to bring your own Who this is for: Organizers\, acti vists\, artists\, strategists\, educators\, and anyone exhausted by patria rchy who wants to build something else. About the facilitator: Tracee Worl ey is the founder of Radical Futures\, a speculative design studio working at the intersection of collapse and imagination. Her work helps organizat ions sense into what this moment is asking of us. She believes matriarchy is a way to face the volatility of our times by grounding ourselves in car e\, relationship\, and collective power.

Bor n during the legendary “Jazz Mafia Tuesdays” era\, the Realistic Orche stra spent years premiering new works every week\, forging a sound that si ts somewhere between jazz orchestra\, film score\, electronic music\, unde rground hip-hop session\, and experimental theater pit.

Every week\, the venue transforms into a unique destination for live music\, featuring a rotating roster of the city’s up and coming funk\, soul\, and R&B ense mbles. The Sound: From 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM\, the stage belongs to a curate d selection of live bands. The rotation frequently features bands such as Mark Maiden\, Funky Sound Experience\, Jay Neal\, The Groove Foundation\, Baycoin Beats\, and Git With It. Whether it’s deep-pocket funk or smooth contemporary soul\, the music is designed to bridge the gap between a sop histicated lounge set and a packed dance floor. The Atmosphere: The design features plush velvet banquettes\, historic photography\, and dim\, moody lighting. It is a space built for “adult” nightlife—where you can e njoy an Asian-inspired craft cocktail during the live set before the room transitions to a high-energy DJ vibe after 11:00 PM. The Experience: The L ion’s Den is a rare “no cover” gem in the heart of the city\, offeri ng world-class musicianship in an intimate\, stylish setting. It is a plac e to rediscover the “cool” of Chinatown while supporting the next gene ration of San Francisco’s musical talent. A Legacy Reclaimed The Lion’ s Den occupies a legendary footprint in San Francisco history. In the 1940 s and 50s\, Chinatown was a global nightlife epicenter\, home to iconic cl ubs like the Forbidden City. The current venue at 57 Wentworth Place was o nce the site of Dragon A Go Go\, a 1960s hotspot that kept the neighborhoo d buzzing during the height of the San Francisco counterculture. After dec ades of relative quiet due to changing zoning laws\, the reopening of The Lion’s Den in 2021 marked the first new nightclub to open in Chinatown i n nearly 40 years. Today\, it stands as a cultural bridge\, honoring the g lamour of the “Harlem of the West” era while providing a vital modern stage for Asian-American artists and the local creative community.

In 2026\, Salamanca embraced a new name—an act of self-definition that became a po werful affirmation of identity and a catalyst for creative transformation. Freed from expectations that once constrained her\, her work has entered a period of greater clarity\, confidence\, and emotional depth. This body of work explores the liberation that emerges when authenticity is fully em braced. The introduction of wire mesh and draped chains began as formal ma terial investigations but evolved into potent metaphors for the protective barriers Salamanca had constructed around herself over time. Fragmented m esh and suspended chains symbolize the dismantling of fear\, self-doubt\, and inherited expectations\, revealing a renewed sense of freedom and poss ibility. Alongside 12 paintings\, Salamanca will debut six double exposure self portraits that mark the beginning of a new practice with Film Photog raphy on a Canon AE-1 Program. Both deeply personal and universally resona nt\, The Final Push is a celebration of self-acceptance\, courage\, and tr ansformation—a declaration of identity expressed without apology and an invitation to witness the power of becoming fully seen. Bio: The Final Pus h marks Cade Salamanca’s second solo exhibition with Mercury 20 Gallery. Throughout her artistic journey\, Salamanca has explored diverse mediums including ceramics and photography. After experimenting with different pai nting styles\, she developed a distinctive voice that combines techniques she has honed over the years—from smooth color transitions to rich textu red layers.Salamanca’s work has been shown at the Blue Mountain Gallery in New York City\; Made In California 2024\, Brea Gallery\, in La Brea\, C A\; Reflections of Us (Juror Sergio Gomez)\, Warnes Contemporary\, in Broo klyn\, NY\; Metal Haus Gallery\, in San Francisco\, CA\; and others.

Both of you are changing\, think\, same storm\, different seasons. And somehow you're expe cted to hold it all together. This is an invitation to stop holding it tog ether\, just for a couple of hours. Ali Lawrence of Four Chambers Writing invites you to come as you are and let those unruly bodies unlock some unr uly words — to write\, listen\, connect\, and create at the untamed inte rsection of puberty and perimenopause. We use poetry as a doorway and the creative unconscious as our guide. Expect laughs\, tears\, and a brave spa ce to let it rip. You don't need to be a writer. You just need a pen\, som e paper\, and something you haven't said out loud yet. (Yes\, we write wit h our actual hands.)
