Prokash/Reveal Performance
Brooklyn
NY
Please join us for the culminating performance and poetry slam for Prokash/Reveal. We have held a series of six free bilingual Bangla/English art and poetry workshops addressing identity, gender/sexuality, mental health, and immigration/race for people of all genders of Bangladeshi/Bengali origin in the NYC metro area. The workshops were conducted in two age groups: two for self-identified younger people (14-30+), two for an older group, and two for the groups together. The workshops were co-facilitated by Monica Jahan Bose and Ali Asgar Tara. It has been a wonderful experience to finally find the words to discuss these taboo topics. We will come together to share our art and poetry in an outdoor performance where we sew together a community identity scroll.
RAINDATE: October 10 at 11 am to 1 pm.
Getting there: Avenue C Plaza is located at the intersection of McDonald Ave and Ave C in Kensington and is accessible via the F/G trains at Church Ave and the B67 bus.
The project is presented by Arts & Democracy with lead artist Monica Jahan Bose. This programming is supported by the Asian Women Giving Circle, a donor advised fund of the Ms. Foundation for Women. It is also supported in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the New York City Council.
