Blood memory

What are you scared to say? What does free speech mean when what you say can cost you your reputation, your livelihood, and your place in the world?

In her brand-new piece, Blood Memory, Goodman favorite and Pulitzer Prize finalist Dael Orlandersmith wrestles with whether it is possible to speak truth in a world in which people are unwilling to examine their own beliefs and where a speaker’s intent counts for less than the hearer’s perception. In her signature poetic style, playwright and performer Orlandersmith asks us to reconsider the ideas we’re reluctant to engage with, and why that matters.
