The Greene Space at WNYC & WQXR | Wanderlust Wednesdays Presents: Ballroom Has Something To Say @GreeneSpaceNY | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
As part of The Greene Space’s Wanderlust Wednesdays series, artist and educator Michael Roberson examines the history of the once underground Black and Latinx Ball community from its roots during the Harlem Renaissance as a Black Trans-womanist theological discourse, a Black freedom movement, and a spiritual formation.

The evening will explore the community’s artistic and cultural productions as survival methods in the face of oppression, and how they used the art form “vogue” and the creation of kinship systems as political movements.
