White Supremacy: Black Trauma and Healing Justice as a Liberatory Practice

White Supremacy: Black Trauma and Healing Justice as a Liberatory Practice
Wednesday, April 5, 2023
Presented by the Black Studies Collaboratory at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, UC Berkeley
Join BSC Activist in Residence Cat Brooks and Alecia Harger for conversation and an artistic journey exploring the role trauma plays in the lives of Black people in America. Cat and Alecia utilize research, art, performance, and Healing Justice modalities to examine the pathways North American Africans chart to surviving trauma, consider how that trauma interrupts the building of thriving lives and liberation movements, and explore the healing modalities necessary for the transmutation of that trauma into healing and action. The event will include an excerpt of Cat Brooks’ one woman show ‘Tasha, about the in-custody murder of Natasha McKenna inside the Fairfax County Jail in Virginia.
