Abstract: general (displayLabel="Scope and Contents note")
In this interview, Dianna Ferrus recites and then discusses three poems she wrote exploring themes of genealogical memory, emancipation, social and political consciousness, the living state of burial, concepts of emergence or transcendence, and the act of reclaiming. This is a compilation video made by a student researcher in 2023 to aid in viewing accessibility due to the amount of interview clips. Please be advised that this interview may contain stories of trauma, both personal and community-wide related to the legacies of racial slavery and colonialism.
