The Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ+ Advancement (MOLA) and the Museum of Science invite Boston’s LGBTQ+ community and their loved ones to an evening that celebrates Pride, uplifts the spectrum of beauty, and highlights the world of science with music and live performances. Titled STEM and Beyond, the MOLA added their own twist to the acronym, STEM (Slay the Entire Month).

As part of the Museum’s Pride Celebration, this event offers LGBTQ+ Bostonians a welcoming and affirming space to gather and celebrate. The evening features music and performances throughout the night, classic Museum of Science interactive presentations, and more.

Celebrate Pride Month the Dorchester way — with community, connection, and a whole lot of love 💕 Meet your neighbors, mingle with local leaders, and champion causes that make our city shine. We will have live entertainment with a performance by Lilly Rose Vallore 💃 and food provided by M&M BBQ 🍔

Because being neighborly is what? FUNDAMENTAL!!! 💅

Join us for a special community concert in partnership with SoFar Sounds. We’re celebrating Immigrant Heritage Month. The artists for this special concert will be diverse, and food is included with your ticket. Guests can also sign up to participate in an Open Mic portion of the program.

Refreshments and food will be provided. Everyone is welcome to attend, registration is requested. Free tickets are limited, if you are unable to attend, please notify us as soon as possible so we can offer your spot to others who wish to join. 

Children are seated on a carpeted floor with their caretakers and space is available on a first come, first served basis. Additional seats are available for people with disabilities, seniors, and others unable to sit on the floor. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

This is an inclusive program and both people with and without disabilities are always welcomed. A Flexible Calming Space (Quiet Room) is available for anyone who needs a break from the program at any time, especially those who are experiencing sensory overload. Parking is free at the JFK Library.

The JFK Library takes the safety and security of all guests, staff, and visitors seriously. To make your experience safe and enjoyable, upon entry to this federal building, all visitors must pass through a security check with a metal detector. All bags will also be inspected by Security Officers. Visit our website for more details.

The Celebrate! series, appropriate for family audiences and children ages 5 and up, highlights America’s rich cultural diversity through the arts. This program is tied directly to President and Mrs. Kennedy's concern for and support of the arts and culture in a democratic society.

Thanks to generous support from the Martin Richard Foundation and the Mass Cultural Council all performances are free.

Like many fellow Americans, it is not the first time that Mobius Artists Group has felt the weight of political anxieties and emerging culture wars that aim to target the diverse, the queer, the foreign, or the unconforming. Yet–with a flood of recent assaults on scientific research, the tenets of democracy, and basic civil rights– this moment, more than ever, feels like a state of emergency for many of us. How do we care for ourselves and for our neighbors during this state of emergency? How can we ensure the safety of our communities and honor the humanity of our being? And perhaps most importantly, how do we emerge from this moment? Not just in body or spirit, but as a society? 

Mobius Artists Group invites you to contemplate these questions with us at States of Emergence, an evening of performance art and spatial interventions presented throughout Boston’s City Hall. Featuring participatory and experimental movement, light, time, and audio-based works, States of Emergence is an artistic response to recent threats towards American democracy, society, and culture. By coming together to be grounded in our bodies, embrace complex emotions, listen to diverse stories, and share concerns with one another, we hope this evening of experiential dialogue will be a moment of catharsis and collective imagination toward a better future. 

This event is supported by the Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture.
