Saturday, June 21, 5 PMBlack Life: Star Amerasu
Black Life presents a multimedia performance by Star Amerasu featuring live singing, dancing, video presentation, and a special TRANSmission from outer space. Amerasu’s work as a singer-songwriter and transdisciplinary artist is a heady, beat-driven pastiche that pulls equally from influences like the tenderness of early Björk, queer and trans history, meme culture, and apocalyptic AI discourse.
