About Our Speakers
Ruby T is an artist, educator, and organizer. Her work is an experiment in translating fantasy to reality, and she is fueled by anger, desire, and magic. Rooted in drawing, her practice has offshoots in painting, performance, comics, fibers, and video. She has exhibited and performed at Western Exhibitions, Roots & Culture, and Iceberg Projects in Chicago; Hales Gallery in New York; and Bass & Reiner in San Francisco. Her comics and illustrations have been published by Half Letter Press, and are in the collection of the Thomas J Watson Library at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She lives and works in Provincetown, MA on Nauset and Wampanoag land.
Kirsten Greenidge is a PEN/America and Obie Award winning playwright whose work often examines the nexus of race, class, and gender using a hyper-realism and supernatural lens. An alum of New Dramatists, the Huntington Playwrights Fellowship, and the Mellon/Howlround Playwright’s residency, Greenidge’s work includes The Luck of the Irish, Milk Like Sugar, Baltimore and librettos for Desert Inn and The Anonymous Lover. She is an Associate Professor of Theatre at Boston University, where she currently serves as the Director of the School of Theatre. When possible, she enjoys working with her sisters Kerri Greenidge (The Grimkes) and Kaitlyn Greenidge (Liberte).
John Murillo is the author of the poetry collections Up Jump the Boogie and Kontemporary Amerikan Poetry. His honors include the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award, the Poetry Society of Virginia’s North American Book Award, the Four Quartets Prize from the T.S. Eliot Foundation and the Poetry Society of America, and the Lucille Clifton Legacy Award from St. Mary’s College of Maryland. His translation of Rafael Alberti’s Concerning the Angels is forthcoming from Four Way Books in 2025. He is a professor of English and teaches in the MFA program at Hunter College.
