Join Spectrum, Tint, the Association of Creative Writers, and Sigma Tau Delta English Honors Society in Wilks Theater for a performance by the ASTOUNDING and AMAZING Alok Vaid-Menon entitled FEMME IN PUBLIC: What feminine part of yourself did you have to destroy in order to survive in this world? At what point does femininity become synonymous with apology? Who hurt the people who hurt you? Alok Vaid-Menon is trying to figure it out. Join them for an evening of poetry, stand-up comedy, drag, and more as they take their audience on an emotional roller coaster all the way from the personal to the political. ALOK VAID-MENON is a gender non-conforming performance artist, writer, and educator. Their eclectic style, political comedy, and poetic challenge to the gender binary have been internationally renowned. Alok was recently the youngest recipient of the prestigious Live Works Performance Act Award, granted to ten performance artists across the world. Their work has been featured by HBO, MTV, National Geographic, The Guardian, and more.
