Part auto-fiction, part manifesto, féi iká shumarí’s CHABÓCHI DOLL snaps the present moment in America tainted by the persecution of undocumented and native bodies, extensive trans legislation seeking to seize the livelihood of trans people, all while negotiating the radicalness of her joy and two-spirited embodiment, when confronted with a brain tumor diagnosis. The author will be reading excerpts from her collection of essays, alongside co-features Chekwube Danladi, Jade Phoenix, Myriam Gurba, and Richard Villegas Jr. in The Wanda Coleman Theater.
