About the Show
Washington, D.C.– Decolonized Beatz Indigenous World Pride 2025 (DBIWP) is set to be a groundbreaking global event celebrating the creativity, resilience, and self-determination of 2SLGBTQIA+ Indigenous artists, performers, and storytellers. Taking place on May 30 at the Arena Stage and June 1, 2025, at the Atlas Performance Art Center on Piscataway Land (Washington, D.C.), DBIWP coincides with World Pride, amplifying the voices of Indigiqueer and Two-Spirit communities on an international stage.
DBIWP will bring together an intersectional lineup of artists, speakers, and performers from The Gambia, Finland, Australia, Fiji, Venezuela, Ecuador, Brazil, Canada, and the United States. Through music, dance, film, storytelling, and drag performances, DBIWP challenges colonial narratives and uplifts Indigenous communities’ right to share our stories on our own terms.
