Deise Nunes om: Estuaries - The Waters as a Metaphor

Vi strømmer til dramatikkenshus.no og Facebook.

In this performance-lecture, Deise Nunes explores the main idea behind her PhD project Estuaries: Anti-colonial, Feminist, Afro-Diaspora Perspectives on Performance. The practical-theoretical project departs from the saying «Black women are like the waters: they grow stronger when they meet» and goes on to develop practices where artistic visions meet on both socio-political and spiritual contexts, originating new streams.
