This virtual performance workshop, led by artist Helina Metaferia, is especially designed for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) of all genders who are students, staff, and faculty at Tufts University and Northeastern University.

The workshop rethinks the images and narratives that we consume daily during our screen-dependant era. It interrogates our unique time of both social justice and social distance. How can we pivot the dynamic of online meeting spaces to create vulnerability without proximity, and vitality as opposed to fatigue? The culmination of this workshop will be an experimental artwork featuring participants.

All participants will be asked to sign an image release waiver before being granted access to the workshop. Participants are asked to be on their desktop or laptops as opposed to their phones, keep their video cameras on during the entire session, and only parts of the collective performance will be recorded.
