October 30, 2021 marked the first annual music festival dubbed Rituals Fest produced by Cutie’s LA, Queer Asian Social Club, Polartropica and Jamie Issuh Productions. Numerous musicians and artists descended upon San Gabriel Valley to honor and celebrate Queer BIPOC community along with friends and allies identifying otherwise.
Polartropica reached out to SilverStreetz with an opportunity to share his visual artwork with all of the festival go-ers. In response, Sterling Molldrem brought two complete oversized wood panels, Ganesh and Garuda X Rangda, to provide additional eye candy to a stage already dripping in dreamy decor. Silverstreetz live oil painted a 96" x 64" wood panel in front of everyone in attendance as the sun set and coheadliners Tolliver and Polartropica took to the stage.
The all-ages festival also featured a community self-defense class led by ALYSSA SAN AGUSTIN of BOX FOR CHANGE LA, and a vibrant market of local artisans and vendors. Delicious, soulful Vietnamese and Korean meals served by SESAME DINETTE and CHEF DEBBIE LEE, alongside uniquely delectable Chinese and Peruvian desserts served by CHIFA.
