A Black Queer + Trans World-Building Production Company
Kiing Curry and Siir Cole are the married creative force behind blaxkcurry productions. As artists, educators, producers and cultural world-builders, they create performances, sonic works, visual and material environments, curricula, publications and embodied learning experiences rooted in Black queer and trans life.
Their partnership is part of the production technology. Two distinct neurodivergent minds bring different rhythms, disciplines and forms of intelligence into relation—turning art, sound, pedagogy, research and lived experience into worlds people can enter. Together, they build what neither would make alone.
You are the tech(know)logy.
Kiing Curry and Siir Cole bring formal study, lived knowledge, ancestral intelligence and creative rigor into a shared production practice that refuses colonial, capitalist and patriarchal limits on how knowledge is made, how bodies learn and how worlds are built. As a married Black queer and trans couple with distinct neurodivergent minds, they build across art, education, sound, performance, design, research and cultural production.
-
Siir Cole holds a BA in Music from Belmont University and a Master of Divinity (M.Div) from Vanderbilt University, grounding their work in sound, spirit, theology, and ritual.
-
Kiing Curry holds a BS in Theatre from Middle Tennessee State University, an MFA in Theatre Stage Management from the University of California, Irvine, and is also a licensed cosmetologist, bringing together performance, logistics, care work, and embodied transformation.
Together, Kiing and Siir work where Black queer and trans embodiment, African Indigenous ways of knowing, neurodivergent pedagogy, performance, sound and world-building meet. blaxkcurry productions is what becomes possible when partnership itself becomes production technology: two distinct minds building structures, experiences and cultural worlds that neither would make alone.
Our work is rooted in intention, care, Black queer and trans embodiment and African Indigenous ways of knowing. We understand sovereignty not as something granted by an institution, but as knowledge carried and practiced through the Black body—physically, spiritually, erotically and communally.
From this grounding, we create courseworks, performances, sonic works, rituals, environments and productions that treat the body as a site of knowledge rather than a problem to be corrected.
To be Black is to be eternally queer—expansive, fluid and resistant to containment.
Our work is Black-rooted without requiring every person who enters it to be Black. We begin with those most marginalized not to manufacture a universal pathway, but because Black queer and trans life carries knowledge that colonial institutions have repeatedly refused to recognize.
By decentering binary thinking, patriarchal imagination and institutional compliance, we open trans and neurodivergent ways of learning—different relationships to time, movement, access, knowledge and one another.
We reject the hypersexualization and extraction of queer Black bodies. We engage the erotic as a tech(know)logy of relation, communal creation and life force—not something to consume, but knowledge carried through the body.
Our work is informed by Black queer, African, and diasporic scholarship and artistry, including but not limited to:
-
Malidoma & Sobonfu Somé (The Healing Wisdom of Africa, The Spirit of Intimacy)
-
Hugo K. Canham (Riotous Deathscapes)
-
Joy DeGrury (Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome)
-
Black queer fictive and non-fictive texts, performance, ritual, and oral traditions
We design and facilitate experiences across scale and setting, including:
• Community-rooted courseworks in salons, classrooms, cultural institutions and gathering spaces
• Embodied learning labs, ritual gatherings and neurodivergent access-centered environments
• Performances, sonic works, installations, publications and interdisciplinary productions
• Large-scale festivals, public programs and touring activations
• Curriculum design, cultural strategy, creative direction and production consulting
Our productions are not built for extraction. They are living structures for relation, experimentation, embodied knowledge and communal power—designed to be entered, practiced and carried forward.
We do not promise “safe spaces.”
We build accountable spaces—spaces grounded in transparency, consent, responsibility, access and care. Safety cannot be declared by the person holding power; it must be practiced in relationship.
We are not attempting perfection or performing institutional innocence. We are building outside the colonial fantasy of the all-knowing, all-seeing authority. Mistakes will happen. Messes will be made.
Accountability means remaining present with impact, changing our practice and refusing to turn error into shame, disappearance or punishment.
We center nonverbal knowledge because words can be manipulated, made inaccessible or mistaken for the whole of knowing. When the body leads, other forms of communication, intimacy, trust and community can emerge—rooted in distinct minds, shared breath, sensory knowledge and collective presence.
Kiing Curry and Siir Cole build living cultural infrastructure through Black queer and trans embodiment, African Indigenous ways of knowing, neurodivergent pedagogy, sound, performance and artistic production.
blaxkcurry productions is partnership made material: two distinct minds creating worlds, structures and experiences that neither would make alone.
We are building on the other side—together.
