BUA at Salem State University, Boston
Veteran's Hall, Ellison Campus Center @ 5pm, FREE
You must register by Wed, February 22:
-Students: Pick up registration forms at the Campus Center room 218 or print here.
-Non-students: contact Rebecca Jiminez at rjimenez@salemstate.edu.

In his truly unique audio-visual presentations, BUA takes his audience on a wild and turbulent ride as he brings his drawings and paintings to life. BUA transforms himself into a large slice of New York's multi-ethnic, mutli-cultural population to share his experience growing up during Reaganomics, witnessing rising class disparities and the consequent birth of the most influential culture of our time: Hip-Hop.

The theatrical presentations meld narrative autobiograpy with social, cultural, and political history, drawing our attention to the power of art’s ability to inspire, and educate.
