Quiet As It’s Kept (QAIK) explores the intersection of historical sexual trauma, southern culture, and silence in Black communities. As a point of departure, the program interprets the oral histories of Black survivors of sexual abuse living in rural areas in coastal North Carolina. The program incorporates dance, puppetry, and music rooted in the region’s traditional folk arts. Central to this work is a community engagement strategy that works with local and national stakeholders that contextualize the work and spark an active discourse.

Estimated Artist Fee: $18,000/performance; $25,000/week.
