Chop The Stigma Kiki Ball!
HIV/AIDS stigma is getting CHOPPED! MORPH & Southern Fried Queer Pride are happy to bring you the Chop The Stigma Kiki Ball, happening on Friday, August 23rd at The Mammal Gallery (At the MET: 680 Murphy Ave SW #3064, Atlanta, GA 30310). All in collaboration with Living Walls, the City Speaks’ #StartTalkingStopHIV campaign!
Featuring Byrell The Great of Qween Beat!
A “Kiki”, by definition, is a low-key function, including dancing and friendly competition – always fun, never too serious. The Kiki scene is focused heavily on community, and events are often run by up-and-comers. Members of the ballroom community use Kiki balls to practice for the mainstream balls but also form smaller houses and balls within, allowing younger performers to harness their craft in a smaller setting.
