Our Futures With Tori Grace

Our Futures is a program that provides an opportunity for chosen community members to engage in intimate and ongoing conversations with our students about life, careers, etc. while identifying as LGBTQ in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. The program aims to help our students envision possibilities for their futures. Our Futures is a two-part conversation. Join us for a conversation with Tori Grace Nichols, a prismatic performance artist who performs drag at the House of Coxx and causes good trouble around Durham as a cultural organizer.
Nichols recently wrote the short audio drama Stretchy Shorts for Artist Soapbox’s Declaration of Love series and voiced the character Bo who is based on Nichols. Nichols’ other acting credits include Dreaming with Duke Performances, Men on Boats with the Justice Theater Project and Freakshow with the Women’s Theatre Festival. Nichols is the lead documentarian for the abolitionist Kaleidoscopic Dream Projexns, a project in collaboration with the Durham Art Asylum and Gallery of the Streets.
