AN EVENING WITH WARRIORS: Speaking the Unspoken

0  comments

In July of 2013 Patrisse curated a pop-up piece performed outdoors on a U-Haul truck called “Warriors: Dressed in Queer, Cloaked in Now.”

Six months later at Highways Performance Space that piece had evolved into “An Evening With Warriors: Speaking the Unspoken.”

Often overshadowed by racial trauma and her brother’s jail trauma, Patrisse wanted a venue to express her and others’ queer trauma through a social justice and intersectional lens.

The performance highlights the stories of four queer and trans people of color – stories that are often untold. An “Evening With Warriors” brought family, friends, and strangers together to share in their stories.
