Through monologues, film, and live music, Uprooting Qahr! Power, Privilege, and Paperwork, follows Taishya Adams – educator, artist, and policy maker – as she confronts the colonial cancer that spread from Europe Africa to the Americas and West Asia.

Weaving across time and space – from chattel slavery to emancipation to state sanctioned domestic and international terror – we face the uneven promise of democracy and the possibilities of liberty and justice for all.
