This communal piece that lives within the Rooted Global Village now was largely inspired by the workshop facilitated by Alexis Pauline Gumbs during the two-day long festival, “We Dream Worlds” in 2022.
This was a festival that came through us - Cliff Berrien and I. Holding all the powers of the universe within it, it created cataclysms and transformations, some of which we will never know and some of which was intimately painful and glorious.
What we knew for sure was that it was not done with us. A year long study of deeptime for African diasporic kin was launched the following year, which is to say this year. The oracular nature of We Dream Worlds continues to unfold. Enjoy this relic from its birth a year ago in the Rooted Global Village.
As always much love to the brilliance of Alexis and the collaborative partnership of Cliff and all my colleagues in Rooted.
