Living Gallery: Ashley Brockington

BLACK GIRLS ARE DELICIOUS

Through a series of short plays, stand-up comedy, and post-modern dance Ashley will share a peek into a truly extraordinary and unique upbringing. Dear God, not another identity piece!  What is A Real American Woman? One part baby-dyke, two parts faggot. 7 parts colored girl. 2 parts Wanna-Be. Sounds like a white girl, looks like a black boy. Whatever it is, it’s funny.

Living Gallery, a monthly program curated by Eva Yaa Asantewaa and produced in the Gibney Gallery, presents live performance of storytelling, monologues, spoken word, stand-up, or creative talks.

Each performance—free and open to the public—runs 30-45 minutes, usually scheduled within the hour before a dance concert presented in Gibney’s Theater. We welcome you to attend both events and enjoy a wide range of expressive artists.

Stay after the performance on October 4th to catch Ita Segev: Knot In My Name at 8:00 pm.
