Betty's Daughter Arts Collaborative Continues...
"Working Our Rainbows: Critical Approaches to Africana Women's Performance Methodology" Series
Peace family. As I continue to think about "women's work", political division, art, community and sustainability, I am critically looking at how women explore boundaries, frontiers, limits, and liberation. In this installment of Working Our Rainbows, we question the idea of a post-racial United States.
The Working Our Rainbows Series is an at-home, mobile device, on line lecture series devoted to Black Women in Performance Studies. Please email bettysdaughterarts@gmail.com if you would like to host a lecture!
