By Way of Revolution Workshop
This performance is an in-person art workshop, led by artist Helina Metaferia. It is specially designed for women-identifying BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) who are students, staff, faculty, and community members at Tennessee universities, commencing in North Nashville on the campus of Fisk University.
The workshop investigates how histories of protest inform our present-day moment, and the powerful yet often overlooked role that BIPOC women (both cis and trans) play in them. The workshop will rely on performative gestures of resilience to explore how institutionalized and systemic trauma gets stored in the body and provide creative and tangible tools for self-care and communal care to help sustain ourselves. The artist will lead participants through a series of writing, mindfulness, and somatic and performance exercises based on histories of social change movements.
