Ronaldo V. Wilson will host team QPlayaz Vidhu Aggarwal, Lucas de Lima, Dawn Lundy Martin & Angela Peñaredondo for an interactive poetry reading and mixed-genre queer conversation through which to play hard softly in between the face of terror and isolation, fear and possibility, community and catch. The QPlaya-ground will feature rounds of verbal four square, double d-iz-utch, and tag between the participants as they rep what it means to be and/or to be in alliance with lgbqtia+++++ modes of African and other diasporic play/s across practices and performance, so get ready, set, go & come!

about @Salon
Founded in 2011, @Salon is an interdisciplinary event welcoming artists and arts enthusiasts to come together for conversation, poetry, spoken word, music, sound, performance, visual and digital art.
@Salon hosts live and virtual events. For the live events, in addition to featuring renowned local and regional artists, @Salon includes presentations and discussions of works-in-progress using Liz Lerman’s Format for Critical Response—a format for feedback that affords the artist an active role in the dialogue.
Long a sponsor of @Salon, Obsidian: Literature & Arts in the African Diaspora, edited by Duriel E. Harris, has taken up the mantle to host and curate this beloved annual event. Obsidian’s @Salon welcomes Black writers and artists and their allies to come together for conversation and exchange.
