A poetic autopsy of a year defined by collective grief
In short: Chinaka Hodge performs an original poem that dissects the emotional landscape of 2016. It is a visceral exploration of a year marked by profound violence and courage, asking how we will eventually recount these memories to the next generation.
Hodge uses sharp, evocative language to examine the heavy atmosphere of 2016, capturing a period defined by fear, shame, and hope. The performance serves as a cultural reflection on a year of significant global and social upheaval.
By framing the year as a series of 'shards of glass,' the poem explores the lasting impact of historical trauma and the courage required to face it. It invites the viewer to consider how we preserve the stories of our most difficult moments.
