835 Hours of Hope & Despair by Arien Wilkerson/Tnmot Aztro + Chloe Newton + Kwami Winfield

Saturday, January 14 at 8pm & Sunday, January 15 at 5.30pm

A multidisciplinary work reflecting on gender, labor, queerness, and the geographic boundaries that

have affected creative paths for young queer Black artists. Wilkerson uses critical analysis and

comedic “transposition persona” to shape dance celebrating Black, radical, “poz” trans, and

nonbinary traditions to entertain, share joy, and explore self-awareness. 835 Hours of Hope &

Despair features Arien Wilkerson and Chloe Newton with live sound accompaniment by

Kwami Winfield. Cultural historian/dramaturge: TK Smith. Written by Wilkerson comprising text

by Cedric J. Robinson, Hortense J. Spillers, Eduardo Cadava, Aaron Levy, Saidiya Hartman,

Adrian Piper, and Uta Hagen. Tech and installation design by Wilkerson and Jacob Weinberg.
