Publisher's Synopsis
WE ARE THE POEMS WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR
Voices is an interdisciplinary audio play and campaign grounded in Black women's stories to unify the vision of ending violence against women across the African Continent and African Diaspora. Its goal is to use art to embody and inspire solidarity-making in the collective imagination.
Over two years of gathering stories, engaging in collective study, and collaborating with Black women and non-binary actors and musicians across the African continent and diaspora led to creation of this audioplay. Told through monologue, song, and poetry, Voices provides a unique space for people to gather, engage the meaning of return and diaspora, and envision a world where African women are collaborating and loving each other across cultures, borders, and customs.
