Mining the Catastrophe is an exploration of grief, horror, and fear through a Black feminist lens. This multimedia performance piece uses dance, poetry, filmmaking, and music to invoke the tradition of Black oral storytelling, to use the ontological construction of Blackness as a means of creation, to mine our catastrophe.
