Co-creator of Slut Island Festival, Frankie Teardrop is a festival programmer, DJ, 2nd camera assistant (ICG 669) and event videographer based out of Tio’tia:ke/Montreal and out of the territories of xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations (Vancouver). Since their early involvement with Head & Hands and Faggity Ass Fridays, Frankie became quickly involved and committed to programming events and collaborations that seek to offset the lack of representation of artists who are 2SLGBTQQIA+/QTBIPOC through centering their work. Frankie runs a mix series called LIP, which used to operate as a monthly queer event series in MTL since 2015. They now have been putting more focus on DJing and producing around festival and camera work.
