Queer Conscience: A Week of To-Dos!

By Douglas Calhoun

Queer Conscience, a week-long series at Greenpoint’s Center for Performance Research will “showcase contemporary cultural productions, activism, and academic writing that offer the promise of queering the future.” Event producer and scene maker Earl Dax, has curated these events and they are beyond forward-looking. These clever artists, creatives and media mavens use thought provoking music, dance, art, and the written word to peer into a queerer time. The location is perfect: a nearby view of the breezy river and of New York’s gorgeous skyline – at 361 Manhattan Avenue there is a feeling anything can happen. Join Queer Conscience as it moves from the C.P.R. to Public Assembly and then to Joe’s Pub. Queerespondence has the breakdown of events and varying performers and personalities.
