Body Politic: An Evening of Live Storytelling

Be part of a moving, funny, surprising, and intensely human evening of live storytelling. Six storytellers—from all walks of life—share intimate and compelling tales about the complex relationship between our bodies, health, and society.

After an acclaimed (and sold-out!) show last year, award-winning literary magazine Bellevue Literary Review (BLR) takes to the stage again for a one-of-a-kind experience that brings you to the heart of the human experience within our rapidly changing world.

With live ASL interpretation.

Hosted by Danielle Ofri (physician-writer, editor of BLR) and Ashley McMullen (physician, host/producer of The Human Doctor podcast, host/producer of The Nocturnists: Black Voices in Healthcare).

Live music by jazz pianist Kwami T. Coleman

ASL interpretation by Avery Gordon
