It was great organizing the @thedragonsisters visit to @carnegiemellon for a screening of their visual album ‘Two Nights Out’ on the facade of the college of fine arts. This event was a satellite of @transqlive and was made possible by the Sylvia and David Steiner Speaker Series @studioforcreativeinquiry, @cmuschoolofart, The Electronic Music Program @cmumusic, and The Opportunity Fund. Install by @cmuabtech 

Two Nights Out is a visual EP featuring dynamic performances and original music created by The Dragon Sisters. This multimedia film is a deep dive into the sisters’ musical prophecies and creative aesthetic. It explores themes of relationships, non-binary gender expression, and toxic masculinity. Two Nights Out illustrates the many dualities of The Dragon Sisters as dance performers and rap artists; soulmates and collaborators; and bearers of historical trauma and activists. The piece is a three dimensional realization of their most recent music project, The Fine Print EP. It is a love letter to their community and their sisterhood.
