STONO (Previously funded 2022)
STONO is a concert-ritual exploring the 1739 Stono slave rebellion through the voices of its beyond-human participants: ancestors, water, mushrooms, guns, drums, the Kongolese Virgin
In today’s world, if we aren’t actively doing the internal and external work to decolonize and dismantle the unjust systems of inequality that exist here on earth, we are contributing to the upholding of this ongoing oppression.
White supremacy, amongst other systems of injustice, is the reality we have been born into and it is time we unlearn, relearn and rebuild a world that is safe and equitable for all.
How can we bring our whole selves — with all the intersections of our identities and experiences to the work of collective liberation?
