IN THE LOUNGE A Tribe Called Butch Heather Lynn Johnson, Peggy Shaw, and Katie Sly with ATCB curator, Marty Correia
About This Show
To celebrate Dixon Place’s HOT! Festival, ATCB will feature the grand butch of them all, Peggy Shaw, NYC-based artist Heather Johnson and special guest, Katie Sly.
A Tribe Called Butch is a fast and furious (45 minutes—don’t be late!) literary reading series that features butch-identified writers and artists. Events are planned with an inclusive understanding of what it means to be butch. Come find out what the hell that all means!
Curator Marty Correia aims to create community and bring awareness about the butch tribe/community/kin that spans time, place and identities. Free admission, so you can afford to bring a friend.
