Harvard Book Store and Mass Humanities welcome artist and activist NIA KING and writer and organizer ELENA ROSE for a celebration of local queer and trans artists of color. The night will include performances by social worker and story teller NEHA RAYAMAJHI and poet, performer, and Harvard Ph.D. student JACKIE WANG. Nia and Elena will also present their book Queer & Trans Artists of Color Vol. 2, a collection of interviews from King's podcast We Want the Airwaves. Copies of King's first volume of interviews, Queer & Trans Artists of Color: Stories of Some of Our Lives, will also be available for purchase this evening.
About Queer & Trans Artists of Color Vol. 2
Building on the groundbreaking first volume, Queer and Trans Artists of Color: Stories of Some of Our Lives, Nia King is back with a second archive of interviews from her podcast We Want the Airwaves. She maintains her signature frankness as an interviewer while seeking advice on surviving capitalism from creative folks who often find their labor devalued. In this collection of interviews, Nia discusses biphobia in gay men’s communities with Juba Kalamka, helping border-crossers find water in the desert with Micha Cárdenas, trying to preserve Indigenous languages through painting with Grace Rosario Perkins, revolutionary monster stories with Elena Rose, using textiles to protest police violence with Indira Allegra, trying to respectfully reclaim one’s own culture with Amir Rabiyah, taking on punk racism with Mimi Thi Nguyen, the imminent trans women of color world takeover with Lexi Adsit, queer life in WWII Japanese American incarceration camps with Tina Takemoto, hip-hop and Black Nationalism with Ajuan Mance, making music in exile with Martín Sorrondeguy, issue-based versus identity-based organizing with Trish Salah, ten years of curating and touring with the QTPOC arts organization Mangos With Chili with Cherry Galette, raising awareness about gentrification through games with Mattie Brice, self-publishing versus working with a small press with Vivek Shreya, and the colonial nature of journalism school with Kiley May. The conversation continues. Bear witness to QTPOC brilliance.
