Project Her Name Matters Presents – Town Hall – Aug 8, 2026

Brothers of Affliction is a powerful and intimate drama about three estranged brothers brought together for one volatile night inside the home that still holds the scars of their childhood. Tyriq wants answers about the father who abandoned them, while Chris and Shane have spent years surviving by refusing to confront the past. As alcohol, anger, and old resentments loosen their defenses, buried memories surface, forcing the brothers to reckon with abuse, violence, abandonment, and the very different ways each learned to survive.

Come for a sneak peak at the new online exhibit discussing and documenting the organization for Black Struggle’s history. The event will feature discussions about the exhibit and OBS, and an opportunity to give feedback on the exhibit.
