*Fri Apr 18, 7pm: Interdisciplinary Poet and Sound Artist **LaTasha N.
Nevada Diggs* (Bentley Theater, Hopkins Center) Diggs is an
interdisciplinary poet and sound artist, combining digitally manipulated
sound, spoken word, vocal improvisation and video in her performance. Using
multiple languages, vernaculars, and code-switching, Diggs's work is an
experimental investigation into language and the voice that makes hybrid
and intertwining linguistic and cultural spaces visible. This event is
sponsored by the Theater Department's VOICES program. Diggs will be reading
excerpts from her 2013 poetry collection, TwERK (
http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/latasha-n-diggs). *There will also be a
