Where Black means good, liberated, & outside the gaze of oppressive power structures | ALL ARE WELCOME
VIP Cocktail Hour from 6pm-7pm includes open bar, intimate DJ set, & special performances. Your $20 ticket purchase helps support Breathing Room, an arts, healing, and organizing hub for Black liberation on Chicago’s south side.
Black Sex Matters is blazing into 2017 with what is sure to be the hottest party yet. Hosted by powerhouse Nikki Patin and featuring Kia LaBeija, a steamy line-up of DJs, live painting, body painting, cocktails, and more, this is the event of the year you will never forgive yourself if you miss.
Kia LaBeija is a multidisciplinary artist born and raised in the heart of New York City’s theatre district, Hellz Kitchen. Her work explores the intersections of community, politics, fine art and activism.
Black Sex Matters is an event series celebrating sensuality and pleasure in liberation struggles serving as a fundraiser for arts activism. Ticket & bar sales will be split between the #LetUsBreathe Collective’s Breathing Room rehab – an arts, healing, and organizing hub on Chicago’s south side – and a nonprofit org doing work that centers sexual safety and wellness for Black and brown folks.
