How can nature inspire new modes of resistance through rising tides of hypercapitalism? "Something Fierce" is a festival on queer ecology, expressed through performance, interactive, and interdisciplinary artwork. We are seeking work that engages with biodiversity, speculative ecology, psychogeography, and climate change, through the lens of queer desire, community, and persistence. The event will take place at Flux IV in Hunter's Point, Queens, at the mouth of Newtown Creek- one of the most polluted waterways in the United States- on November 22 and 23rd, 2025.
Flux Factory's mission is to support emerging artists through Artist-in-Residencies and Exhibitions, education and collaborative opportunities.

Since 1994 Flux has hosted over 300 Artists-in-Residence, both local and international, as well as staging over 700 exhibitions across all disciplines.
