More than 250 people came out on a cold Houston night to hear Suheir Hammad perform at the Proleteriat. The event was packed (some were being turned away because we couldn’t fit another single person!) and those who attended left moved by her powerful presentation.

Hammad herself left touched by Houston and the work that VBB presents and a few days after leaving she shot us an email saying: “houston is truly blessed to have you.”

VBB recieved many in person compliments about the show but some audience members took time out to email us the next day. Here’s what a few said:

“I really enjoyed the show!  I am not familiar with Suheir’s work, so I watched a few YouTube clips before going.  Of course she was much better in person.  She engages with the audience so well.”
