Beyond the Ball: "And the Category Is"

Beyond the Ball - “And the Category Is" Book Review, Paris Is Burning Screening & a Conversation with Yohon Tatum

Join us as we delve into the vibrant world of New York City’s ballroom scene — a culture of resilience, creativity, and unapologetic self-expression. Together, we’ll explore And the Category Is in an interactive book discussion, followed by a screening of the groundbreaking documentary Paris Is Burning.

The evening continues with a dynamic conversation featuring Yohon Tatum, NYC Legendary Father Tisci, offering insights into ballroom history, its lasting cultural impact, and the ways it continues to inspire today.

Presented by the NHC Book Club & History Committee, Beyond the Ball is more than a discussion — it’s a celebration of community, identity, and the artistry that shaped a movement.
