Ntozake Shange, poet, playwright, and another visionary alumna, joins artist-activist Sydnie Mosley to discuss their art, movement, the collaborations that fuel their work, and the forces they've had to negotiate when creating it. Shange is perhaps most famous for her choreopoem, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow Is Enuf. Producing experiential dance works with her all-women company, SLMDances, Mosley uses her art to organize for gender and racial justice.
