How the InterArts Gateway Reignited a Trinity Student’s Creative Spark
The first-year InterArts Gateway Program helped Eh Wah Wah ’28 reconnect with creativity in new and engaging ways.
“Negra, negra, negra soy,” a community performance introduced by the Kukily Afrofeminst Arts Collective, was staged at Trinity College February 9, as part of Black History Month. The collective invited community members to participate in the live performance through a collaborative creative process. The process was designed to strengthen connections, generate a greater understanding of each others’ lived experiences, and engage in art making. “Negra, negra, negra soy” translates to “Black, Black, I am a Black woman.”
The event was sponsored by the Watkinson Library; Raether Library; Trinity College Arts Initiative; Departments of Human Rights, English, and History; Center for Urban and Global Studies; Center for Hartford Engagement and Research (CHER); Office of Multicultural Affairs; Language and Cultural Studies; International Studies; Women, Gender, and Sexuality; Women & Gender Resource Action Center (WGRAC).
