Engage with the captivating narrative using #lilBLK. \n“Profoundly personal and heart-achingly familiar.” – Maura NGUYỄN Donohue\, culturebot \n“To be unmoved by Kay’s work is to fail to understand not only its relevance to current events\, but the power\, significance and breath it provides a swelling push for Black\, trans and queer freedom.” – Benji Hart\, radical faggot \nPerformer & Designer: NIC Kay \nNIC Kay is an artist-in-residence with LMCC’s Extended Life Dance Development Program supported\, in part\, by The Andrew W.
