Assistant Professor Charlotte Brathwaite Created a New Site-specific Performance Piece

The Chale Wote Street Art Festival in Accra, Ghana

 

Assistant Professor Charlotte Brathwaite created a new site-specific performance piece “within the sand and the sea: a meditation of lost and forgotten places and people" and screened the short film “Only When It’s Dark Enough You Can See The Stars”.

 

"Stage director Charlotte Brathwaite (Canada/UK/Barbados), along with her collaborators Abigail DeVille... created a riveting site specific performance installation inside one of the main halls of the Ussher Fort Prison... This collaborative project...sourced its core from the living history of the prison—which is an important bookmark in Ghana's history..." – Hakeem Adam
