A Black Cuban Woman's “Room of Her Own” - Virtual Reading Workshop

Join Aldeide Delgado, curator of The Abyss of the Ocean, with performer and researcher Yesenia Selier and visual artists Gertrudis Rivalta and Marta María Pérez Bravo for a reading workshop about the publication Afrocubanas: History, Thought, and Cultural Practices edited by historian Daisy Rubiera Castillo and playwright and theater critic Inés María Martiatu Terry. This book interrogates the experiences of Black women in the historical landscape of the Cuban nation. These essays share a collective interest in dismantling the negative stereotypes about Black women while reflecting a legacy of thought and resistance.

All texts will be read together in the group, you don’t need to read them in advance. The workshop will take place in Spanish with simultaneous translation in English.
