DAMALI AYO |
Seattle audiences first met Portland's Damli Ayo at Elliott Bay during her How to Rent a Negro tour in 2005. We're pleased to announce that we're now a stop on this year's Obamistan! Be the Change tour. Her smart, satirical tour guidebook, Obamistan! Land without Racism: Your Guide to the New America (Lawrence Hill Books), documents the utopia that (never) came about after the last presidential election, and poses this question: What might happen if Americans really did step up to the plate and take responsibility for making change happen? Her work has been praised by Dick Gregory, and in the pages of Punk Planet and Bust Magazine. "A very funny expansion of the concept explored on her popular website, rent-a-negro.com—witty, empathetic, unsettling, hilarious. A kind of Miss Manners for the racially isolated yet yearning to connect." – Patricia J. Williams, The Nation, on How to Rent a Negro.
