Bound Up Together Dance Performance: Frances E. W. Harper 200 Symposium

Bound Up Together • "The Artistry and Activism of Frances Ellen Watkins Harper" Symposium Dance Performance PERFORMERS: Monique Bland, LaChelle Dickenson, Amber Rance, Adiah Simpson, Amber Spivey, Luis Mulero, Omari Senior, and Monique Relacion We share sketches of Frances Ellen Watkins Harper’s artistic and activist life through artistic interpretations by choreographers, poets, composers, dancers and actors. Born free on September 24, 1825, Harper addressed the key issues of her era as a Black woman. Through her work as a writer and activist, she illuminated significant moments in history when many Black people and women were denied freedom. We believe in the power of the arts to inform us about the past, to illuminate the challenges of the present, and to guide us in creating a more just and equitable future. Frances Ellen Watkins Harper is our guide. The dance performance was part of the Center for Black Digital Research's "Frances E. W. Harper 200: Looking Back, Moving Forward, 1825–2025" symposium held Sept. 19-21, 2025. Visit https://coloredconventions.org/harper... for more information.
