WASHINGTON, DC: BlackLight Summit: afterGLOW
Saturday, February 11 | Panel at 7pm | Doors Open at 8pm | Performance at 8:30pm
Last Night the DJ Saved My Life: Who Heals the Healers? Panel Discussion
The role of “caretaker” in the queer community has often been held by Drag Artists, DJs’, Club/Bar owners, and a myriad of other protectors of queer magic. These spaces and people serve as conduits of the community by affirming that solely standing in one’s truth can be a pathway to joy and healing. But who protects these protectors?
“Last Night the DJ Saved My Life” unpacks the struggles, joys, responsibilities, and costs tethered to being a part of the lifeblood of the LGBTQIA+ community.
In continued support of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, The Clarice Smith Performing Art Center’s BlackLight Summit and Dance Place have partnered to present an exciting new drag show produced by haus of bambi. afterGLOW closes out the three-day 2023 BlackLight Summit with a glitter-filled, wig-pulling, lip-syncing, drag celebration. Featuring performances from some of the DMV’s most dynamic drag artists, afterGLOW affirms that the future is Black, queer, beautiful, and happening now!
ASL Interpretation will be available for the Saturday discussion and performance.
Large Print Programs will be available for both performances.
