BLACK AS U R: A CULTURAL SALON EXPERIENCE

Join BLQ Medium for Black As U R: A Cultural Salon Experience. This evening features film, conversation, and community. The night opens with a cocktail hour at 6:00pm, giving guests a chance to mingle before settling in for a special drag performance and a collective screening of filmmaker Micheal Rice's acclaimed documentary Black As U R, which explores the homophobia that persists in many Black spaces through both a broader cultural lens and Micheal's own upbringing in the South. Following the screening, we'll host an intimate dialogue led by BLQ Medium's President & CEO A.J. Lucky. The film has been recognized at multiple festivals, including the Micheaux Film Festival, Out In The Silence, Columbus Black International Film Festival, and aGLIFF Austin. Dress to impress in whatever makes you feel fabulous, and bring cash to tip our incredible Drag Star Tina Twirler (As Seen on Netflix).
