About the event
THRESH & HOLD is a book of poems re-coded into a collaborative ceremony of composed and improvisational music, dance, poetry, and short film. “Exhausted of singing in an empire’s hopeful choir”, Dekine’s poems play with past, present, and future, all held within any moment, remembering the power of Black imagination for collective ancestral healing.
Featuring Shirley Graham du Bois Creative in Residence poet Marlanda Dekine, Victoria Awkward (Dance), Brittany J. Green (Composer), Mahkia Greene (Film), Zahili Gonzalez Zamora (piano), and Emily Bearce (Lights).
