There are many ways to make a clearing: strategies on Black queer feminist freedom making

Harge is a 2023 teaching fellow at the Center for Experimental Ethnography at University of Pennsylvania. For her final presentation, she will share from her ongoing archival project, There are many ways to make a clearing. 

The project houses movement scores, maps, prayers, and citations she's utilized over the last decade to craft a Blackqueer feminist creative praxis as a dancemaker in Detroit, MI. In this presentation, Harge will share choreographic entry points into the archive and discuss the permissions she has given herself and her work to build a practice rooted in Black longevity. Harge will be joined by scholar-practitioner and assistant professor of Africana Studies, Jasmine Johnson.
