On, Wednesday February 17, 2016 CAN WE TALK FOR REAL cohosts Teresa Jackson and Michelle Brown are joined by Marcus Dargan and Zachary Frater. Both men are participating on a panel for “Shout, Sister, Shout: Seeing and Hearing African American LGBT People in Fine Art and Music” at the Center of the city College of New York on February 25, 2016. The panel complements an exhibition of artifacts, print, fine art and photographs related to the subject matter of African American LGBT writers, musicians, performers and fine artists that has been on view for the entire month of February. Free and open to the public.  Marcus Dargan is an Adjunct Lecturer of the Communication Studies Department at Baruch and Department of Speech, Communications, and Theatre Arts at Borough of Manhattan Community College, where he received an A.S. in Theatre. He also holds a B.A. in Theatre and a M.S.Ed. in Educational Theatre from City College of New York. He is the Artistic Director and Co-Founder of NuAFrikan Theatre, and Editor and Contributor of Down Stage Pass. Performance artist, producer, and CCNY alum Zachary Frater will be presenting on the notorious 2013 webseries "Got 2 B Real: The Diva Variety Show" created by YouTuber @PattiLaHelle. Its all-star cast of contemporary black R&B and Pop icons reading each other down has captivated LGBT viewers since its inception and remains an intriguing work of media appropriation, meme culture, and drag humor. Zachary will be discussing the program's inherent queer sensibility and appeal to the millenial generation.
