Nothing says Bushwick art scene like storytelling by a genderqueer ex-nun, except, possibly, vaginal explorations, dance rituals, and 400 eggs smashed onto one body. Expect all of the above and more at ‘Am I Write, Ladies?’ a recurring series showcasing new and developing work by women and gender non-conforming artists. Each show has a theme and tonight’s show at The Footlight will focus on autobiography.
Hosted and curated by Cassidy Dawn Graves and Nikki Vega, the show has garnered praise and coverage in the past with mentions from Brokelyn, FlavorPill and from us here at Bushwick Daily.
Cassidy Dawn Graves created the event in 2014 as a “safe yet well-curated space where artists working in various disciplines can experiment and try new things, as well as meet new artists and friends.” Graves is a renaissance woman, writing and creating across disciplines. She has made it a point to create an event that is open to artistic expression in its many forms from storytelling to ukulele songs and video art.
