Co-presented with Pittsburgh Queer History Project

MS89 presents Queen of the Megamix with special guest host Milan Tre’Zur.

Experience the screening of Diva! The Many Faces of Milan taped during Milan’s reign as Miss Teen Pittsburgh 1994 within Xavi L. Aguirre’s installation, Proofing: Resistance + Ready in the exhibition Everlasting Plastics.

This event celebrates the friendship between Milan and DJ Jimmy Lewis in a step towards recognizing the broad impact of performance and music generated by Pittsburgh’s Black LGBTQ artists in nightlife.

Cleaner Tapes, a Pittsburgh-based gay record label that specializes in cassette tapes and tape cleaner, will be distributing free cassette tapes to attendees, including a download link to a new original tape on Misc. Records (Juan Augusto LaFontaine) based on the track list of the cassettes being handed out at the event.

About MS89

The MS89 series is a live and in-person only nightclub archives screening event that pays community members to host screenings and discussions of tapes that they had a hand in creating. This series focuses on the joy of watching and rewatching community archives tapes as a preservation method built on intergenerational friendships. Knowledge and artifacts are saved through our shared desire for a shared past.
