Patrisse Cullors Instagram – I’ve been reflecting a lot on what it means to protect Black women and femmes, what it means to protect ourselves in a country that not only refuses to protect us but actively attacks us and tears us down. What it means to protect Black women and femmes when our entire country is focused on punishment and revenge. What does it mean to be tethered to old narratives?What kind of stretching is required of us? Where do we put our exhaustion? Who protects us? Sometimes you need to thrash, and dance and rage, and scream. And that’s what we did!!!!! Thank you @welcometolace for commissioning this new work, and thank you @ladyblake23 for envisioning this piece alongside me and to my cousin Darius who has been one of my protectors. Dancing with family is so healing. Thank you to the audience for singing and screaming alongside us. 📸 @calmatetupedo and @alexandrealirezadorriz Materials: bunjee cords, harness, white t shirts, cargo pants Music: @bjork army of me
