Perry “Vision” DiVirgilio and Kavindu “Kavi” Ade will bring their poetry performance, "Mending Masculinity," to the Wood Center ballroom at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 30.

DiVirgilio and Ade "cultivate a conversation that encompasses all forms of masculinity, the performance of gender, and the inherent toxicity of gendered binaries in a patriarchal world," according to their tour website.  "With poems focusing on gender, sexuality, multicultural identity, race, violence, street harassment, sexual assault, education, homophobia/transphobia and more, their art aims to task men and masculine of center folks of all journeys to unpack, heal and create a path to whole masculinities."

There will be a poetry workshop on the same day at 1 p.m. in the Wood Center Conference Room E/F.

The performance is hosted by the Nanook Action and Diversity Center.
