Artists Unscripted: Queer Homelands
Thursday May 20, 2021 | 6 – 7 PM
Welcome all spell-casters, poetry architects, refuge-seekers, gender binary abolitionists, and those finding the words back to a sense of home within their queer body.
Queer Homelands is an evening of poetic performance and conversation by non-binary Fillipinx artist Kimmortal, transgender Russian-Jewish poet Angelic Proof and first-generation Afro-Caribbean artist Alisha. The artists will each perform and engage in conversation on how queer children of refuge, diaspora, migration and/or exile can reclaim access to healing through the magic of language and performance.
MOA’s new series, Artists Unscripted focuses on listening and learning from established and emerging artists. Each event includes a live discussion and a Q+A. This month’s edition of Artists Unscripted is co-curated by Angelic Proof and hosted by Rea Saxena, MOA Public Programs Intern.
Angelic Proof [t(he)y] is a Russian-Jewish trans-gender, queer poet. Angelic sees their work as the work of a poetry excavator. They work and extend their poetry to clownery, spoken word music, and performance sorcery, leading them to have shared international stages with rabbis, queer clowns, trans politicians, the United Nations, TEDx and the Vogue Theatre.
Alisha is a 1st generation Afro-Caribbean performer whose poetry and music is rooted in ancestral technologies and futures. Her sound contains the sonic worlds of Reggae and Raga, and is equally influenced by her experiences as a community engaged artist, educator, farmer and body worker. Alisha has graced the stages of Vancouver Mural Fest, Vancouver International Jazz Festival and UBC Pride.
Kimmortal is a queer non-binary filipinx multi-disciplinary artist. Their ancestry is Ilocano and Visayan from Pangasinan and Negros Occidental. A musician (rapper, singer) with a background in art and theatre, Kimmortal’s honest wordplay and visuals tell stories of reclaiming one’s healing and confronting social issues.
