TBD Salon III took place on August 30 at 7:30PM EDT and featured Camilo Godoy in conversation with Lindsay Catherine Harris and Emilio Martínez Poppe. This program was organized in partnership with The Laundromat Project.

Lindsay is an artist/educator working to increase meaningful civic engagement through the arts, challenge inequity, and amplify youth voice—specifically femme, queer, and trans youth of color—in cultural programming in Brooklyn. Emilio is an artist/designer whose work engages collectivity, its practices, and lived/speculative legacies of belonging through their spatial or linguistic formations. Camilo is an artist/educator whose practice is concerned with the construction of political meanings and histories.

In addition, we donated 10% of all proceeds raised for this program to The Black School’s fundraiser to Build a Black Radical Art School— a 21st-century schoolhouse to expand their Black radical art programming into a community center providing civic engagement activities for New Orleans' 7th Ward.

One person in the back is throwing up a first, and two folks are posing dramatically on the floor in front. The youth wear yellow shirts with what looks like “BkM teen” printed on the side. The joy in this photo is palpable!</sub>
