In the current climate, maintaining practices of storytelling is critical to resisting erasure. Marginalized communities, especially people of the African diaspora living in the U.S. understand the dangers of a “single story”. So, I along with the brilliant cultural heritage preserver, Nandi Kaye, of Nature is Balm, are curating a showcase entitled, What Freedom Cost.

What Freedom Cost is a multi-part visual and performance-based project exploring the legacy of systemic violence against Black people in the United States. The project unearths the true impact of the cost of freedom from formal institutions of violence and criminalization – it asks whether freedom is actually free.

Submissions for your stories are currently open - for more information, visit www.whatfreedomcost.com.
