As we prepare to close our 2nd year and bid bon voyage to 2018, DIRT is taking a moment to reflect, regenerate and strategically plan for our next chapter. . . In our continued spirit of transparency, we will be putting a brief pause on accepting any new submissions through the end of February 2019, as we take this time to look forward and set new intentions. . . While you may not be seeing a whole lot of new content being produced, we're still active on social media and still very much a part of this dynamic DMV arts community. . . If you've loved our content, love our team, and want to see us thrive, please consider supporting our first-ever editors retreat this January by making a donation on our website (🔗link in bio🔗) . . Any and all donations will go towards allowing us to bring our national editors to DC, facilitating team-building and strategic planning, and making this retreat as lucrative and enriching as possible! . . #youvegotdirt #dirtdmv #acreativedc #bythings #ttyl

✨NEW READ ALERT✨ Set to publish in December, “Evidence of Being” opens on a grim scene: Washington DC’s gay black community in the 1980s, ravaged by AIDS, the crack epidemic, and a series of unsolved murders, seemingly abandoned by the government and mainstream culture. Yet in this darkest of moments, a new vision of community and hope managed to emerge. Darius Bost’s account of the media, poetry, and performance of this time and place reveals a stunning confluence of activism and the arts. In Washington and New York during the 1980s and ’90s, gay black men banded together, using creative expression as a tool to challenge the widespread views that marked them as unworthy of grief. They created art that enriched and reimagined their lives in the face of pain and neglect, while at the same time forging a path toward bold new modes of existence. At once a corrective to the predominantly white male accounts of the AIDS crisis and an openhearted depiction of the possibilities of black gay life, Evidence of Being above all insists on the primacy of community over loneliness, and hope over despair. @uchicagopress #dariusbost #dirt #dirtreads #dirtinthefield #dmv #dc #aids #crisis #performance #poetry #art #activism #essexhemphill
