In Place of Monuments: a communal workshop and devised theater series
The play, In Place of Monuments, will be devised through a series of gatherings and workshops within the community. It is inspired by my short experimental docu-narrative film of the same title, and is an emergent story that centers two Afro-Caribbean childhood friends who seek, through remembering and reclamation, to saddle alongside a shared traumatic experience– a healing that can only be felt through with compassion and a determination to resist the lessons the dominant social order seeks to teach–specifically the carceral state–to Black, Brown, Indigenous, Femme and Queer communities.
