Dragon Sisters Two Nights Out excerpts and documentation from CMU public screening

Scott Andrew organized a screening of The Dragon Sisters' visual album ‘Two Nights Out’ on the facade of the college of fine arts at Carnegie Mellon University in conjunction with TQ Live! This event was made possible by the Sylvia and David Steiner Speaker Series, the Studio for Creative Inquiry, CMU School of Art, The CMU Electronic Music, and The Opportunity Fund

Two Nights Out is a visual EP featuring dynamic performances and original music created by The Dragon Sisters. This multimedia film is a deep dive into the sisters’ musical prophecies and creative aesthetic. It explores themes of relationships, non-binary gender expression, and toxic masculinity. Two Nights Out illustrates the many dualities of The Dragon Sisters as dance performers and rap artists; soulmates and collaborators; and bearers of historical trauma and activists. The piece is a three dimensional realization of their most recent music project, The Fine Print EP. It is a love letter to their community and their sisterhood.
