Building a Better Fishtrap / A'we deh ya ("All of us are here")
Saturday, November 21 | 4 - 5:30pm EST | Live on Zoom
Created by Paloma McGregor
Hosted by Movement Lab at Barnard College
Please RSVP here to join: http://forms.gle/XP32PRFeSJB3yibB9
Get a peek into the research and development of A'we deh ya ("All of us are here"), a new work by Paloma McGregor, artistic director of Angela's Pulse (angelaspulse.org). A'we is a multi-disciplinary call-and-response between colony and mainland, being created in alignment with local efforts to thwart disaster capitalism in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, in the wake of the destruction caused during the 2017 hurricane season. More information -> https://movement.barnard.edu/events/memosa-angelas-pulse-awe
The project, which focuses on Paloma's homeland St. Croix, is rooted in her dad's vanishing fishing tradition and explores the animating questions: What do we take with us? Leave behind? Return to Reclaim? Through the Fishtrap Method, Shared Practice and these conversations with special guests we are activating a call and response between geographies, cultures and practices; as well as between the past and future of A'we deh ya. We will be building our collaborative muscles as a group of dancers, writers, visual artists, music makers and dreamers while doing embodied research together.
Please join them for a process sharing event and bring an object or photo that has personal/familial/cultural significance!
