Acute Flaccid Myelitis cannot paralyze Grace Fisher’s musical talent. To celebrate four years of adapting to a new life since becoming quadriplegic, Grace is giving back through A Winter Music Showcase, a benefit concert on December 22nd, 2018.

Bhutto unpacks the intersections of queerness and Islam; Faluda Islam is less a drag queen and more a drag comrade; she is more "extra" than terrestrial and more dead than alive. As a time traveler and living corpse, she has many powers including being able to speak to the dead. She herself comes back to life and she will also resurrect martyrs, comrades, allies, and family with whom she must converse with to understand her own struggle.

Please join on Saturday, December 22nd to shop at the Deckers Brand Showcase to raise funds for Magoo’s Shoes
