Mending Masculinity: Spoken Word Tour
Tonight! Friday, February 8, 7pm – 8:30pm
Tyrrell Hall, University of Tulsa (map)
Mending Masculinity is a collaborative spoken word tour featuring Kavi Ade & Vision. The duo's separate lenses (as a trans queer person and as a cis hetero person) cultivate a conversation encompassing all forms of masculinity, the performance of gender, and the inherent toxicity of gendered binaries in a patriarchal world. Their art aims to task men and masculine-of-center folks of all journeys to unpack, heal, and create a path to whole masculinities.
