MCA Live: HOWDOYOUSAYYAMINAFRICAN?, Pot Liquor Medicine Women
@ Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago
220 E. Chicago Ave., Chicago IL
Opening Saturday, May 21st, from 6PM - 7:30PM
Tickets: $10 general admission / $6 Students
Though trauma, subjugation, and historical erasure have created deep cultural wounds, there remains, without fail, an irrepressible urge for transformation, evolution, and ascension. Building on the success of their ground-breaking, avant-garde opera, Good Stock on the Dimension Floor, some of the female members of HOWDOYOUSAYYAMINAFRICAN? present a multimedia performative experience utilizing film, dance, and music. Pot Liquor Medicine Women uses the contemporary performative experience as a cathartic platform for restorative healing and curative empowerment though the black female gaze. This program includes work by Sienna Shields, Tiana Marenah, Jasmine Murrell, Kelsey Lu, and Beatrice Anderson.
