*Free* On November 22nd at the LGBT Center from 7-9 PM, 2020-2021 QAM Fellows and Surya Swilley will be joined by their Mentors Tourmaline and Maria Bauman for Deep Ass Talks, an evening of spiritual healing and creative renewal! Eva will read a scene from her in-progress script, a feature length film about a Black trans woman unlearning old ways of survival and finding freedom in meeting people like her. Eva and Tourmaline will then discuss the power of filmmaking as Black trans artists. Surya will dialogue with Maria in an interdisciplinary artist talk, inviting audience members into their personal healing journey and their movement practice revolving around sex, death, and protest. We’re talking about sisterhood, self-love, transformation, and we’re going in deep. Stick around after the program for a post-performance toast and hang out!
