Popis: | In this short performative piece, the performer engages a critical juxtaposition of Paul Laurence Dunbar’s classic poem, “We Wear the Mask” in relation to shifting currents of COVID-19, Racism, and Black Lives Matter; using the act of masking not just as a safety precaution against COVID-19 but as strategies of passing through oppression, and surviving under threat, with de-masking as a performative act of resistance against that which most threatens our humanity. |
