Black Bodies, Black Art An evening of performance
Thu Sep 26, 2019
7pm - 8:30pm
This evening explores the awareness of black artists and their art being at once hyper visible and invisible, shamed and desired. The works are a reckoning of the extremes on the spectrum where black artists find themselves. Each piece is an attempt by the artist, to release as well as to control the narrative of what it means to produce ‘Black Art’.
Hosted by Shannon Stott, the evening will include dance by Ashé Arts and Ballet Afrique, music by Honey Son + Olivia, drag performances by Sha’nyia Ellis Narcisse, and improv by Twins.
