Cane, Corn & Gully by Safiya Kamaria Kinshasa

A hybrid choreopoem that remixes archival fragments, oral histories, and Barbadian nation language to trace the afterlives of slavery across sugar fields and limestone gullies, this collection embodies memory through movement and rhythm as it centers Black Caribbean women’s voices, confronting colonial violence, land and labor, and the body’s capacity for resistance, care, and ancestral healing.
