About the Showing
side by side by side by is an emerging performance project that speaks to the expansiveness of Blackness intersecting with trans, nonbinary, disabled and neurodiverse aliveness.
"What would it mean to consider Black aliveness - especially given how readily and literally - Blackness is indexed to death?"
