BOOK LAUNCH FOR EVERY WHERE ALIEN BY BRAD WALROND! On Aug. 13, 2024, from 6 pm-9 pm, Moore Black Press & African Voices present a Book Launch and Book signing for Every Where Alien by Brad Walrond.

The book launch will be held at The Venue, 2031 Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. near 121 St. in Harlem. ABOUT Every Where Alien Every Where Alien is Brad Walrond’s dazzling afro-futuristic, afro-surrealist journey through New York City’s underground art movements, including the New Black Arts Movement, Black Rock Coalition, the Underground House Music-Dance community, the HIV/AIDS Black Queer Artivists, and the House Ballroom Scene. Every Where Alien catapults us to New York City mid-1990s, early-2000s to rebroadcast the black queer creative genius of marginalized communities. Walrond questions narrow conceptions of “alien” as outsider, to explore how feelings of alienation also call us toward our shared humanity. Every Where Alien is published by Moore Black Press/Amistad HarperCollins and available for pre-order at www.harpercollins.com. Photo: Ed Marshall AUTHOR'S BIO Brad Walrond is an American poet, author, conceptual/performance artist, and one of the foremost writers and performers of the 1990s Black Arts Movement centered in New York City. Brad’s poetics, performance, and multi-disciplinary work interpolates between virtual reality, identity formation, and human consciousness at the intersection of race, gender, sex, and desire. Brad aims with his work to provoke futurist explorations of how we co-create historical, remembered, and imagined time encouraging us to rediscover the common and conflicting threads of our human inheritance. Walrond holds a B.A. from The City College of New York and an M.A. from Columbia University. You can contact Brad at www.bradwalrond.com.
