Fire Through Dry Grass (36x12)

Air date: Oct 30, 2023

Wearing snapback caps and Air Jordans, the Reality Poets aren't typical nursing home residents. In Fire Through Dry Grass, these young, Black and brown disabled artists document their lives on lockdown during Covid, their rhymes underscoring the danger and imprisonment they feel. In the face of institutional neglect, they refuse to be abused, confined, and erased.
