“I Am Black”

Manbites Dog Theater 703 Foster Street, Durham, NC, United States

A community conversation with Tommy DeFrantz. In this dialogic manifesto-lecture, Chair of African and African American studies at Duke University, Tommy DeFrantz offers strategies for acknowledging how artists of color and their collaborating audiences of color operate in several keys simultaneously, but are inevitably compelled to reduce their work and experience to the unknowable, shameful category of ‘race.’ An exploration of black performance, black identity, and black expression.
