Contemporary Black Queer narratives are critical. Within the literary and theatre worlds, the necessity for stories that exceed the bounds of the white cis hetero imagination has never been more pronounced. In this Stoop Conversation, Black Queer writers, Donja R. Love, Hari Ziyad, Kleaver Cruz, Elyse Ambrose and storäe michele will share their works, anxieties, and visions for a Black Queer future as imagined and reckoned within their art. And there’s no better place to do so than on the stoop of the rapidly gentrifying neighborhood of Bedstuy.
