About the Event

"Walking Proudly: Embodying Liberation Capital in Chicago's West African Dance and Drum Communities" grows out of Queen Meccasia Zabriskie’s research on dancers and their place in Black life in Chicago from the 1960s through the 2010s. In this presentation, Zabriskie will engage audiences in a movement-based presentation about “embodied liberation capital” drawing on her historical, ethnographic and performance-based research on West African Drum and Dance practices in Chicago.
