Situated around Nile and Malcolm’s emergent art installation, Nile will curate a night of performances of Black artists working in the intersections of poetry, movement, and sound. Continuing on his investigation of the “anti-poetics” of healing, the evening asks, “What does it take to be okay at the end of the world? And how does coming together provide a balm for our contemporary metaverse of isolation?”
