The Healing Stage: Black Women, Incarceration, and the Art of Transformation
Dr. Lisa Biggs, John Atwater and Diana Nelson Assistant Professor of the Arts and Africana Studies
Over the last five decades, Black women have been one of the fastest-growing segments of the global prison population. In The Healing Stage, Lisa Biggs reveals how four ensembles of currently and formerly incarcerated women use theater and performance to challenge harmful policies and popular discourses that justify locking up “bad” women.
This event was moderated by Noliwe Rooks, Professor and Chair of the Department of Africana Studies/Rites and Reason Theatre at Brown University.
