When There Is No One and There Is Everyone: Poetry, Drag & Art

Celebrate the release of Rex Renee Leonowitch‘s new book of poetry and illustrations, When There Is No One And There Is Everyone, with an evening of poetry, drag, music & art.

The event will feature readings and performances using drag, music, poetry, and visual art/digital media to pay homage to events & people who, through their protest, grief, triumph & lust for life, shape our world for the better.

REX RENEE LEONOWICZ is a multimedia artist, performer, writer, and activist from Queens, New York. As a poor/working class, trans/nonbinary femme, Rex’s art and performance work is grounded in a politics of radical resistance, healing, and witness. Rex is a gender-bending, genre-blending artist whose work critically responds to the relationships people on the margins have with our surroundings and each other.
