STONO: An audio-ritual

Queer Cultural Center

Explore the Stono slave rebellion through the voices of its beyond-human participants: ancestors, water, mushrooms, and more.

2022 National Queer Arts Festival

Join us from June 9th to June 23rd, 2022 for the 25th Anniversary of NQAF with a lineup of amazing events and workshops across the Bay in-person and virtually worldwide.

The 1739 Stono slave rebellion is typically depicted as a suppressed insurrection. STONO asks: Is there another story? To find answers, listeners are guided to commune with ancestors, water, mushrooms, guns, and the Kongolese Virgin Mary. Combining music, spoken text, and field recordings from the historic rebellion sites, STONO imagines a more expansive and surprising story about that fateful episode, a space in which revolution extends beyond racial politics, human temporality, and material space.This event will include a listening session and post-show Q&amp;A with the creator.
