In honor of Pride Month, we are bringing back 2020s  June’s episode of Hidden Histories explores the spaces that archive the history of LGBT life in San Antonio and celebrates the artists and activists who have made that history sing. We open with Melissa Gohlke, UTSA Special Collections Assistant Archivist, who curates one of the largest LGBTQ collections in Texas. From there, we interview Rebel Mariposa, radical restauranteur and owner of La Botanica, one of San Antonio’s most celebrated vegan restaurants and queer arts spaces. In between, we showcase the final public performance of the late and great Sterling Houston—playwright, musician, and Jump-Start performer—and premiere a Los de Esta Noche tribute by Los MENtirosos, San Antonio’s premiere drag king troupe. We close the night with filmmaker Noi Mahoney, director of Hap Veltman’s San Antonio Country, followed by a screening of his documentary about one of San Antonio’s most famous disco-era gay clubs.

Cochineala is a new quarterly performance series at Confluence Park blending nature and the arts. Inspired by the cochineal, a small insect that lives on prickly pear cactus, and a little by the Coachella Music Festival, this series utilizes art as a medium for exploring scientific endeavors, all through the creative lens of local artists and musicians. Each event is inspired by a specific theme in nature and includes an outdoor lecture by a guest scientist, a live musical, dance, or theatrical performance, live screen printing and craft activities. The concrete “petals” of Confluence Park serve as the stage against the natural backdrop of the San Antonio River. Cochineala is art, nature, and science, coming together in a whirl of movement, music, and color.
