SkinFolk: George Clinton: Radical Black Nonconformists

  • ADX 417 Southeast 11th Avenue Portland, OR, 97214 United States (map)

Join us at ADX for an intimate discussion with author Sharyll Burroughs as she shares a profile on Black Radical, George Clinton. Sheryll is developing an anthology of essays entitled Skinfolk, a collection of my observations on human beings whose Blackness is incidental to their nonconformity. At first glance, these observations may seem irrational—but they are undeniably true.

Rather than focusing solely on identity, Burroughs celebrates what makes each subject an outlier and, more significantly, their fundamental humanity. The human experience is complex and unpredictable. Her primary interest revolves around those driven to remain true to themselves. Individuals who reject tradition in favor of originality—artists, athletes, writers, and more.

An evening of music, moving images, spoken word, and collective dialogue on the nonconformist blueprint. Lend your voice to the conversation shaping the Skinfolk anthology.
