Call Me Black Woman...I'm a mother, daughter, lover, sister...Call Me Black Woman
Call Me Black Woman, celebrating its 25th Anniversary, was kicked off here at the Birmingham Museum of Art. The show is a compilation of her poems choreographed and performed to tell the story of Black female life. Grounded in the tradition of Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovannte and Ntozake Shange, Cooper and Smith embodied the rich history and experiences of the African Diaspora, patient to share, willing to challenge our perceptions and reflect memories not to long forgotten. See the pictures below.
"What if we came not from Africa, but to Africa?"
"Revolution, Black People"
Was it really that long ago, and it is really that different? ....There is blood in the soil....And now, our children give us back their history.
