Conjuring Black Funk: Notes on Culture, Sexuality and Spirituality, Vol. 1 is a fiery collection of essays, poetry, creative non-fiction, and experimental writing that challenges conventional thought, offers alternative perspectives, and suggests ways of practicing Afrocentric, queer liberation/transgression. This book is an important contribution to Black Queer Theory, Black Feminist Thought, and Afrocentric Thought.

The presentation will be in the style of the Inside Actors Studio, with Steven G. Fullwood introducing Herukhuti, who will read selections from the book.

Mr. Fullwood is the publisher of Vintage Entity Press, the co-editor of Carry the Word: A Bibliography of Black LGBTQ Books, and author of Funny: A Collection of Essays.
