Celebrate queer resilience, expression, and community at MAD PRIDE 2025, SoMad’s annual performance spectacular uniting visionary drag artists, queer art, and community organizers for a night of unapologetic brilliance.
For 2025, we’re collaborating with Rachel Rampleman and drawing from her Life is Drag archive to curate a stellar lineup of artists—visionaries of the Brooklyn art drag scene and powerhouses of the NYC and DC drag worlds—artists who inspire locally and globally through their brilliant and joy-inspiring drag, and who create and connect beyond the stage through their unique and artistic activist voices.
Alongside the performances, SoMad will be alive with video projections from Rachel’s 364-piece-and-counting archive, and the Rosemart (a volunteer-run queer marketplace) will pop up on the 4th floor. We’re also thrilled to welcome The Chosen Family Law Center, offering legal support for low-income queer communities.
