DESCRIPTION:Moderated by acclaimed San Francisco-based vogue dancer, choreographer and 
 MC Jocquese Whitfield, aka Sir JoQ, this event features three voguers from 
 Chicago who joined last summer's historic demonstrations for racial 
 justice. Their conversation will take place live via Zoom.\n\nAmya Jackson, 
 Dhee Lacy and Karma Munez received massive attention for their 
 participation in last year's BLM demonstration in Chicago's Bronzeville 
 neighborhood. Wearing thigh-high black boots, they vogued in protest by 
 fearlessly dipping, spinning and strutting in front of rows of moving 
 police cars. Their action was captured on video and widely disseminated on 
 social media.\n\n"The movement for Black Lives Matter sometimes excludes 
 queer people, and we wanted to stand out and be visible," said Lacy. "We 
 wanted the world to see that our lives matter, too. Black Trans Lives 
 Matter."\n\n"I didn't think of myself as an activist before last year's 
 protests, but I do now," said Munez. "I am not afraid to speak up for those 
 who are disrespected."\n\nAmong the topics to be addressed are the social 
 roots of vogueing and ball culture, vogueing as a form of resistance and 
 collective joy, the history of communal dance in liberation movements, the 
 ongoing challenges facing the movement for Black Trans Lives Matter, and 
 what it feels like to dance on the front lines.\n\n$1 - $25.\n
