White
by Permanent Record

Jun. 27 (2018)

Rejected by the gallery of his dreams, a spurned artist hires a local actress to pose as the creator of his paintings. Together they create the perfect candidate for the "New Voices" exhibition: the charismatic, unapologetic Balkone Townsend. Ijames' hysterical and thought-provoking comedy draws on both life and art to examine racial tourism, power, and identity.
