Moving the Message: Reading and Embodying the Works of Audre Lorde

In this course, we will spend time reading, discussing and embodying the writings of poet, essayist, philosopher and activist, Audre Lorde. A prolific writer and thinker, Lorde's work focuses on practices rooted in the role of self-care in revolutionary politics, rescuing ourselves and each other from hegemonic forces, and building the components necessary for a life of liberatory politics. Through a process grounded in movement, and dialogue we will explore how the words of Audre Lorde can literally move us towards freedom and self recovery.   This course is presented by the Institute for Diversity in the Arts, IDA.
