Uni Q. Mical.

February 18, 2012 7:00 pm

We are proud to present Uni Q. Mical., a Black queer wryter/excyter who aims to keep it hyper. Come hear her words which attempt to slash through the silences that we all (un)comfortably live with, place a mirror to our societies so that we speak to each other, build dialogue, and love a lot.  Tickets: $5.
