PREMIERE

Performance by Family Connection

At the center is the story of feminist, Black liberation work. Glenda Martinus, Caribbean artist and part of the Family Connection collective, was employed as an office worker in the 1970s and 1980s, recognizing the need to advocate for labor rights – after all, Caribbean women had been leading labor struggles since enslavement. Thanks to a fellowship program developed by revolutionary choreographer, dancer and academic Rex Nettleford at the University of the West Indies‘ Women and Development Unit (WAND), she was given the opportunity to travel back and forth between different Caribbean islands and participate in political workshops. This story for Family Connection is the occasion to reflect in this performance on forms of learning beyond institutions, on solidarity and on the collectivization of struggle.

Performance: Thursday, 07.09.23, 8 p.m.
