The Black Reproductive Working Group March Meeting
SHIPS : SPIRITING OUR SURVIVALA film project in progress that explores the conceptual parallels between ships and birth, specifically for Black birth givers, as both vessels of captivity and freedom.
On March 21 at the Public Trust building, the Black Reproductive Working Group of Philly will screen a short film in-progress, “Ships: Spiriting Our Survival” by Azsaneé Truss and Cienna Davis. The film explores the conceptual parallels between ships and birth, specifically for Black birth givers, as both vessels of captivity and freedom. It combines historical research in Philadelphia, interviews with doulas and professors, and footage from a ship-building class led by Dr. Grace Sanders Johnson. Conversation with filmmakers will follow, and lunch will be served.

DISILLUSIONED // THIRD THURSDAY"The suburban lifestyle dream is a Ponzi scheme whose unraveling threatens us all. How do we come to terms with this troubled history? How do we build a future in which all children can thrive?"
Brooke O'Harra moderates an event with Benjamin Herold who is the author of Disillusioned, a book that explores the U.S.’s beautiful and busted public education system. Benjamin will be joined by mother and education organizer Bethany Smith, whose experience in the Penn Hills suburbs is one of the case studies he follows. The noon conversation will focus on collaboration and the relationship between journalism and ethnography.
