Can You Hear Me Now

2020

On August 23, 2020, we presented our 17th show, Can You Hear Me Now?, to honor women’s voices as 2020 marked the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote. This spoken word show brings feminist voices to the forefront as poets explore what it means to be heard in their personal lives and at a national level. Poets included Suzen Baraka, Tara Bracco, Shanelle Gabriel, Karla Jackson-Brewer, Angela Kariotis, and Shetal Shah. The show was presented virtually during the pandemic. Commissioned by Susan Grabel and Stefany Benson in conjunction with the exhibition Don't Shut Up 2020 at Snug Harbor Cultural Center, Staten Island.
