We'll screen a film excerpt from NO!: A Rape Documentary, followed by a Q&A with creator Aishah Shahidah Simmons.
Winner of both a juried award and an audience choice award at the 2006 San Diego Women Film Festival, this ground-breaking feature length documentary explores the international reality of rape and other forms of sexual assault through the first person testimonies, scholarship, spirituality, and activism of African-Americans.
AND:
Excerpt from MOVEMENT FROM THE MARGINS
Choreography by Sheena S. Johnson, Misia Denea written by Davina Stewart.
Movement From the Margins (MFM) is a multi-media piece that serves as a truth-telling account of the post-Katrina World. From the shores of western Africa to gulf coast of Louisiana and Mississippi our people have continually been displaced, demeaned and dehumanized in this
land. MFM is an artist's response to the state sanctioned violence that occurred throughout the gulf coast following Katrina. We will see a brief excerpt of this program performed by Misia Denea from INCITE! Philadelphia.
