OBSIDIENNE OBSURD

Joshua Tree, CA

OBSIDIENNE OBSURD is a mind-bending, genre-melting, surrealist, maximalist, pseudo-intellectual bespoke garbage-wearing drag goblin multi-hyphenate. Hailed for her bold silhouettes, absurdist performance proclivity, and iconically recognizable paint, OBSIDIENNE is a prolific drag producer, outlandishly ambitious performer, and classical violist. OBSIDIENNE is currently an artist-in-residence at 200 Channels, an experimental performance art venue in South-of-Market in San Francisco. She also brings gay chaos to the high desert of Joshua Tree, where she curates a niche pop-culture drag show called HORSE GIRL that absolutely no one asked for. In December 2025, OBSIDIENNE will present a full-length, autobiographical drag/contemporary classical music, staged production with generous support from the Gerbode Foundation - but until then, you can find her pulling all-nighters up and down Route 5 in her camper van.
