Is My Black Still Beautiful is a multimedia performance created by violinist Gwen Laster, exploring colorism through the lens of a young black girl during post civil rights in Detroit. This hero's journey is experienced through music, storytelling, projected visuals and dance. It reflects the absurdities and complexities by society's larger ruling class through conditioning of slavery and colonialism.

Alexis Marcelo- pianist
Tony Lewis-drummer
Nia Sadler- dancer
Presented as part of "And..." A Mabou Mines Festival of Performance with support from the Guggenheim Foundation, Loghaven Artist Residency, New York State Council on the Arts, and New Music USA.
