media release: A Room of One's Own welcomes Gabrielle Civil, author of the déjà vu, for a virtual conversation on Crowdcast with fellow Black feminist writer and performance artist Ra Malika Imhotep! Emerging from the intersection of pandemic and uprising, the déjà vu activates forms both new and ancestral, drawing movement, speech, and lyric essay into performance memoir. As Gabrielle Civil considers Haitian tourist paintings, dance rituals, race at the movies, black feminist legacies, and more, she reflects on her personal losses and desires, speculates on black time, and dreams into expansive black life.
