This fall, Artist in Residence Marcel Pardo Ariza turns 500 Capp Street into a welcoming hub for the trans community with an installation that invites intergenerational stories and a series of dinners, drag shows, and more.

Starting October 19, 500 Capp Street in San Francisco is reimagined as artist and curator Marcel Pardo Ariza turns David Ireland’s historic home into an inviting and inclusive space for the Mission District’s queer and trans community. The result of a summer artist residency, Ariza’s project, Orquídeas, includes an installation and a series of public programs focused on trans joy, community stories, and artistic resilience.

Orquídeas is supported by the Kenneth Rainin Open Spaces Program and The Zellerbach Family Foundation, with additional support from Tania Houtzager, The Transgender District, and Bomo Beauty.
