Women Manifesting Systems of Care will center women and women-identified voices as we reflect on the centennial of Women’s Suffrage in the U.S. and create spaces for expression, civic debate, and creativity around how we can envision systems that build community resilience via collective imagination. The event will include Elements, a new interactive performance directed by artist Alona Weiss, and Systems of Care, a panel discussion moderated by Cynthia Tobar, Artist/Oral Historian and Head of Archives at BCC. We’ve got a great cross section of women and I’m thrilled to gather such an inspiring group for this virtual event!Elements is a new interactive performance directed by artist Alona Weiss.
Elements will present a celestial online conference with a group of 5 performers who will perform a ritual, embodying the spirits of worldly elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. Each spirit will log-in from her respective sphere of strength to share an offering for the collective ritual, summoning the spirits of divine futures to inspire us to care, move, change, heal, and listen.
The panel conversation will include Maria Aponte, Author/Performance Artist; Bridget Bartolini, Oral Historian, and founder of Five Boro Story Project; Spirit Tawfiq, Antiracism Educator & Storyteller; and Alona Weiss, Visual Artist and the director of Elements.
Event schedule: 2:00-2:30 performance / 2:30-2:45 intermission / 2:45-3:30 panel / 3:30-3:50 Q&A / 3:50-4:00 winning writing contest entry reading
