Thursday, July 27th at 6:30pm |
Hosted by coLAB Arts and The Pride Center of New Jersey
Registration for the event is free, with a suggested donation of $5. Donations will support the Trans Revolutionary Action Network for NY.
KOKOMO CITY takes up a seemingly simple mantle — to present the stories of four Black transgender sex workers in New York and Georgia. Shot in striking black and white, the boldness of the facts of these women's lives and the earthquaking frankness they share complicate this enterprise, colliding the every day with cutting social commentary and the excavation of long-dormant truths. Sharing reflections on knotty desire, far-reaching taboo, identification in labor, and gender’s many meanings, these women offer an unapologetic and cutting analysis of Black culture and society at large from a vantage point that is vibrating with energy, sex, challenge, and hard-earned wisdom.
Please note that this event will be held on the first floor of the event space and will be wheelchair accessible. If you have any additional questions about event details or accessibility requests, please contact coLAB Arts at info@colab-arts.org.
