soft light.

soft light is a meditation on the joys and challenges of Black remembrance written and narrated by Aleshea Harris, directed by Whitney White and produced by The Movement Theatre Company. June 2020.

“What I recall most vividly about the summer Trayvon Martin was killed was the desire to hold and be held by people who felt as I did. The despair so many are experiencing now is reminiscent of that time, with its challenges to accessing community and the overwhelming images of Black death. My hope for this moment is that we’ll find ways to reach for one another across distance, that we’ll stand in the truth of our belonging and refuse to abandon joy.” ~Aleshea Harris
