Performance

Shirley Chisholm: Unbossed and Unbowed

1 upcoming performance in New York

At Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture, *Shirley Chisholm: Unbossed and Unbowed* revisits the life and public record of the Brooklyn congresswoman who forced open national politics as the first Black woman elected to Congress and a 1972 presidential candidate. The program frames her as a New York figure shaped by local constituencies and national pressure. Featured performers include Grand Pistachio, adding a live, contemporary layer to the material. The clearest takeaway is how current Chisholm’s language still sounds in a city that keeps renegotiating power.
