How to come out black
How to Come Out Black exposes the humour and horror of expectations placed on a racialized female body.
A satirical rap video circus that distorts and negotiates the vision of the black woman under the lens of pop culture and stereotypes. Drawing on music videos, make-up tutorials and twerking,How to Come Out Black combines dance, discussion and parody to interrogate the hyper-sexualisation of the black female body to the point of the absurd.

The Privlege
ere is your chance to get up close and personal – remove your shoes, coats and bags, as you are about to encounter the Arctic’s whitest predator, with black skin. Be one of the privileged few to say they have pet, played with, and fed a polar bear as if you were one of the Arctic keepers.This is an audience led participatory performance that uses the excitement of a polar bear encounter to explore race, identity and the community
Bell Hooks
Aint i a Woman?
The focus of hooks's writing has been the intersectionality of race, capitalism, and gender, and what she describes as their ability to produce and perpetuate systems of oppression and class domination. Primarily through a postmodern perspective, she has addressed race, class, and gender in education, art, history, sexuality, mass media, and feminism.
