HumanitiesDC Culture Series: Transgender Histories with Darby Hickey
2023-04-20 19:00 - 21:00 | Busboys and Poets, 450 K Street NW, Washington, DC, 20001, United States
How have the changes in D.C. over the past several decades been experienced and influenced by transgender individuals and communities? In 2021, Darby Hickey with support from the DC Oral History Collaborative sought to explore this question through an oral history project featuring the voices of those who witnessed the transformation of the city firsthand. She interviewed eight transgender elders in D.C., mostly Black women, to document their life stories and perspectives of the past 60 years.
In this next HumanitiesDC Culture Series event, Darby Hickey, along with project assistant Tessa Jelani, and a panel of the narrators (interviewees) will discuss the journey, the motivations, the importance, and the themes of this collaboration, accompanied by selected clips from their full interviews (available in the People’s Archive at the DC Public Library). Panelists will also discuss the stories they contributed, share what it meant to be interviewed, and reflect on the history they have made. Come for stories about legendary nightclubs of yesteryear, resilience and organizing in the face of violence and hate, the importance of roller-skating, and the power of family whether chosen or blood.
We’ll conclude the program by turning to the audience, inviting folks to either ask questions or share their own experiences relevant to the topic.

Wednesday Night Open Mic hosted by Dwayne B
2023-04-26 20:00 - 22:00 | Busboys and Poets, 450 K Street NW, Washington, DC, 20001, United States
Dwayne B! aka the “Crochet Kingpin” is a homegrown DC native poet, activist, break-dancer, and fashion designer. He is one of the hosts of DC’s longest running open mic series, Spit Dat, as well as a member of the Busboys and Poets hosting team for the 5th & K location.
In addition to featured readings at every Busboys and Poets location, SAGAfest Iceland 2015, Spirits and Lyrics NYC and Manassas, Woolly Mammoth Theater, and the C2EA “We Can End AIDS” march, Dwayne’s short form poetry prowess led him to win the Best Haiku Award at the 2011 National Underground Spoken-Word Poetry Awards (NUSPA). His work to increase HIV awareness through spoken-word garnered recognition from the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, BBCAmerica, the Discovery Channel, and The Washington Post.
Ultimately, his goal is to force his audience to feel. He tends to meet goals. When not documenting his life through poetic meter, he can be found on the metro making scarves and hats, or singing karaoke.
* * *
For two hours, audiences can expect a diverse chorus of voices and a vast array of professional spoken word performers, open mic rookies, musicians and a different host every week. Expect to be moved, expect a packed house, expect the unexpected, but above all come with an open mind and ear.

Seating is available on a first come, first seated basis. No saved or reserved seats are allowed.
