Dragonfly: ABSCONDED #EjectionDay 2020 v. 1
ABSCONDED is a hybrid street performance/public ritual that honors the life and legacy of Ona Maria Judge Staines through the creation of a living monument that moves through the streets of New York City. Ona Judge was born into slavery before the American Revolution. She was a seamstress, as well as Martha Washington's body servant and "pet." During Washington's second term, on May 21, 1796, at age 22, Judge quietly absconded from Philadelphia on a ship to New Hampshire as the Washingtons ate dinner. With the help of Free Black and abolitionist communities, she evaded capture for the rest of her life.

Trasnocheo for José

The Hemispheric Institute's 9th Encuentro, held at Concordia University in Montréal, Canada, sought to explore the multiple valences of the term MANIFEST! How are performances mobilized and syncretized in civic, community, and cultural contexts to create manifold forms of political expression? How do public, theatrical events produce ‘evidence’ that manifests ideas otherwise invisible, hidden, or unspeakable?
