WAYS OF REPAIR : LOSS AND DAMAGE | SYMPOSIUM SESSION #2 | Alexis Pauline Gumbs – Tell the Others

In this session of the Ways of Repair : Loss and Damage Symposium, Queer Black Troublemaker, Black Feminist Love Evangelist, award-winning writer and poet Alexis Pauline Gumbs, presented the text “Tell the Others” which is guided by the last works of the poet and environmentalist Audre Lorde. In “Tell the Others” Gumbs has created a written ceremony in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl that that meets us at the shoreline of loss, the swell of grief, the multi-life form convergence of disaster, with questions, offerings and provocations that support us in finding a collective way forward in the details of our survival.
