Boom Arts presents the highly anticipated Portland debut of artist, activist, and comedienne Kristina Wong, whose hilarious travelogue/TEDtalk/solo show about making a difference in an unequal world was inspired by her volunteer work in Northern Uganda. On a set made of hand-sewn felt, Ms. Wong breaks down such complex issues as click bait, global poverty, privilege and economic theory, using uneasy-to-read charts, live hashtag wars, and riveting slideshows.
