Artists Kiki King, Alessia Petrolito, and Marina Cavadini discuss language, movement, and their (our) literary hero—Beneatha.

RSVP for Event Access

Moderated by RAISIN Curator Asha Iman Veal and SAIC Being a Woman of Color in the Arts Class

Kiki King, Alessia Petrolito, and Marina Cavadini are ready to sing, dance, and shout their praises for a (kind of) fictional character: Beneatha. King is a dancer, whose choreography merges with activism and community-building. Petrolito is the founder of ArP Adoptic, an interdisciplinary project for adoptee experience and identity studies. Cavadini is a multidisciplinary and research-based artist who thinks with vulnerability and intimacy.
