Smallgirl Rising: Connecting the Divine Black Feminine

April 7, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Please join us in hosting South African poets, vangile gantsho and MoAfrika wa Mokgathi:

April 7th
3 Dots Downtown
12:30-2pm.
A light lunch will be provided.

vangile gantsho will also be leading a talk on “African Ritual, Spirituality, and Performance” as part of the African Drama class. Feel free to join this open lecture.

April 6
9:05-10:20am
Thomas Building 112.

smallgirl rising: connecting the Divine Black Feminine is an intergenerational transatlantic conversation where poets vangile gantsho and MoAfrika wa Mokgathi will lead a series of writing, poetry and music, cooking and breathing installations designed to encourage deep listening as a way of speaking into the separation that has made way for (and feeds off) the oppressive hierarchical systems of race, patriarchy, capitalism and erasure. Using indigenous healing modalities – we are invoking the names of black women whose names have been swallowed by time.

We want to see a world that is healed, or at the very least…in a dedicated pursuit of communal healing.
