The Art of War and Hip Hop

Sunday, March 1st @ 7PM, 2026

Presented by The Kandake Dance Theatre for Social Change

Kae (an Afro-Chinese, closet-queer, comic book artist) reconciles different aspects of her identity by escaping into a fantasy world where demons—such as family trauma, colorism, and more—are easier to slay. When she embarks on a journey to find extended family abroad, the lines between fiction and reality fade irreversibly.

Featuring 4 diverse women, The Art of War and Hip Hop is a conversation between different communities-of-color and beyond. The play draws heavily from world folklore and pays homage to the unique intersections that can be found between Eastern pop cultures, American Hip Hop, and other African Diasporic cultures.
