"Here I Am" Performance and "I Am the Bridge" Screening

Writer and performer Mélisande Short-Colomb is a descendant of families who were enslaved and trafficked by the Society of Jesus in the documented 1838 sale. Here I Am weaves narrative, music, and imagery to share a complicated history and relationship with the institution that enslaved her ancestors. I Am the Bridge, the documentary film, follows her time at Georgetown University. Event hosted by The Laboratory for Global Performance and Politics.
