Duke City Story Slam welcomes this special collaboration with Albuquerque’s LGBTQA community to bring their stories to the DCSS state in July (having no event scheduled during Pride Month in June). The format and featured tellers for this DCSS event are still under development.

This LGBTQA+ centered storytelling/drag event will be held on July 8, 2025 from 6-8 pm at Canteen Brewhouse, 2381 Aztec, NE, Albuquerque.

The event will featured “Moth” style personal storytelling - drag encouraged but not required, with some additional appearances by artists just doing drag. (Details to follow…)

The performances will be both retrospective and vision-casting to help the community move through this historical moment of uncertainty.

There will also be several opportunities to tell a five-minute open mic story. While this event is QT (queer/trans) organized and centered, we welcome members of the broader community to join us in the audience.

We ask that you leave the stage to those who live these experiences.
