(Re)Counting (Wo)Man
(Re)Counting (Wo)Man, spoken word/multimedia, dir. Jennifer Lisa Vest, 2021, USA, 52m., fully closed captioned
Dr. Jennifer Lisa Vest, a self-described mixed-blood Florida Mikasuki Seminole poet, philosopher, performance artist, and healer, recorded their one-person show about indigeneity, sexuality, queerness, history, ancestral traditions, anti-black racism, and strategies of survival. The show is a blend of poetry, storytelling, still images, and film, weaving a rich tapestry, starting with people telling her, “There’s something not quite right about you.” To the contrary, there is something profoundly right about her, and what she has to say, everyone should hear. Definitely a must see.
