BLACK AESTHETICS: LOUDER* tall tails and black bottoms**

LOUDER*tall tails and black bottoms** is a multi-sensory celebration of the radical legacy of queer Black blues singers whose voices carved space for sensuality, resistance, and unapologetic presence. Through dance, poetry, and DJing, this performance reimagines their stories, weaving the grit and grace of the blues with the lush textures of new age R&B. LOUDER moves through sound and body to honor the erotic, the mythical, and the untamed—echoing a lineage that refuses silence and insists on being felt.
