A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.
A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.

Take a break and/ or hang in an Open Meet Up in IRL and URL
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
