Please join us for an extraordinary evening of performance art inspired by the African traditions of shrines and masquerades, as well as the negotiation of identity in cosmopolitan America.As the “Black President” invoked by Nigerian musician Fela Kuti in 1977 prepares to take office in America, we invite you to share in this provocative collection of visual thoughts, ritual battles, reverse striptease, ablution, and song.
S & M Live! is staged in conjunction with the exhibition, "S & M: Shrines and Masquerades in Cosmopolitan Times," curated by Lyle Ashton Harris, Chris Bogia, and Nancy Barton - now on view at NYU's 80 Washington Square East Galleries.
