Event Description
Tim Seibles & Yah Lioness Borne — HEArt

The Human Equity through Art Performance Series, with funding from the Heinz Endowment Small Arts Initiative, presents award-winning poet and National Book Award finalist Tim Seibles along with Pittsburgh performance artist Yah Lioness Borne in the second of its 3-part 2013-2014 series.


Blackness and whiteness have been constructed to serve a particularly sinister function in America. Racialism is a minefield we’ve been forced to dance on. Why? Who is served by the suffering racialized thinking causes? We were not born to suffer, nor be complicit in the suffering of others. -- Tim Seibles


I am a well-known gay artist who hasn’t openly addressed lgbtq issues in my music or poems in part due to the gay discrimination in hip-hop culture. I’ve mostly talked about race, class, gender and privilege. But I will tackle these issues now; this is my most candid work yet and I am ready. -- Yah Lioness Borne
