JUICE, curated by her philly moves, is a vision of a more inclusive and more intersectional Philadelphia Pride Festival. Featuring an all-queer and trans womxn of color lineup of performers, photographers, vendors, artists, and (new for 2018) filmmakers, JUICE is a safer space that elevates and celebrates the diverse voices of womxn in Philadelphia.
2018 is gonna be sumth’n special, y’all! JUICE is happening later in the day to allow for musical performances/poetry in the afternoon, followed by conceptual and film projects after sunset. DJ’s, though, will be spinning throughout the entire event, so prepare to sweat all day long. Our first time integrating so many art forms into one event, her philly moves wants JUICE to stimulate you visually, aurally, and creatively.
SOUNDS
We hope you’re ready to catch a vibe. This year, JUICE features our largest lineup with an eclectic mix of sounds and performance.
Performers and DJ’s include: Bobbie Maack, Caged Bird, Dada Esque, Sagacious, Shanel Edwards, DJ Aura, DJ Delish, DJ Jamz, and DJ Jovi.
VISUALS AND FARM-TO-TABLE EATS
Now if you turn up the way we turn up, you’re gonna be sweating a lot at JUICE. So, if you ever need a break from all the music, you can chill out in the pop-up interactive art gallery or you can visit the farm-to-table vegan eatery.
Exhibiting visual artists include: EXhibit A, Fresh Prints, Hawkmoth, Philadelphia Printworks, Shanel Edwards, and Sheila Vitruk.
Catered by Earf., the eatery will use ingredients grown on the farm by Philadelphia Urban Creators and turn those raw foods into mouth-watering meals. And we’re not just talking about salads; we’re talking lasagna and burgers, sis! *drools in healthy*
FILMS
The film showing, sponsored by Party Headphones - a silent headphone provider, include 4 projects and conceptual pieces:
Garden of Eden by Imani Dennison and Robin Williams
A Glimpse Inside the House of Melanin by ash
I Know Why by Caged Bird

Yesterday marked the end to our first summer of JUICE. Over the past 3 months, JUICE has promoted carefree energy and celebration of QTWOC art and music to Philadelphia. Although we have to wait until next year to bring more outdoor queer events, we want our followers and QTWOC to keep the vibes all year long. Follow the JUICE playlist on Spotify for a curated selection of:
Afrobeats
Dancehall
Hip Hop
RnB
Trap
The playlist includes songs that are mainstream and alternative, fun and reflective, twerkable (we just made that word up lol) and chill.
We were so excited to bring back JUICE during the 4th Annual Hoodstock Festival. On July 22, we joined forces with Philly Urban Creators to combine our two events into a major daylong fest that took up the entire block between 11th and Dauphin and 11th and York Streets.
Hoodstock brought fun for all ages with a moonbounce, pony rides, live graffiti art, community vendors, and performances from the likes of Ill Fated Natives, Joie Kathos and Monie and Meeks.
JUICE was a designated space for QTWOC that supported an outdoor art gallery, games, a Kiki Vodka-sponsored bar, and LGBTQ DJ’s and creatives.
Through the rain and the shine, JUICE attendees danced and celebrated until after sundown.
