The Program
Join us for an informative and engaging lecture by Michael Roberson, an adjunct professor at The New School University and Union Theological Seminary in New York City as well as a public health practitioner, advocate, activist, artist, curator and leader within the LGBTQ community. His lecture will explore the history of the House | Ballroom community as a Black Trans-Womanist theological discourse, a freedom movement, and its spiritual formation responses to race, class, sexuality, and gender oppression. It will further examine the community’s ability to use the art of performance as a hermeneutics of the body and situate its history in mobilizing as a resistance to these oppressions and place it in conversation with other historical struggles.
For those attending in person, a reception will follow from 6 to 7 pm.
