As CERCL Scholar-in Residence, Jasmine Hearn shares a performance and panel from their archival project "Memory Fleet". The performance quilts together learned dances, remembered gestures, and forgotten movements sourced from Jasmine's time identifying choreographies and gestures of care and resilience from images found in the archives at the library at the Gregory School. The conversation brings together three community leaders to speak on the importance of dance and movement in Black mothering cultures cultivated in Houston, TX and how dancing supports other ways of remembering and accessing memories held in our bodies.
