AquaMoon SpokenExistence

Dismantling the culture of silence!

“Writers and poets in the tradition of the griot, AquaMoon serves as a multimedia, grass-roots trumpet of empowerment. Their art is, in many ways, a contemporary manifestation of the Black Arts Movement.”— Chicago Sun-Times       

We are AquaMoon, the writing, performance and teaching artist team of camil.williams and veronica precious bohanan.  We bridge the gap between the streets, hip-hop feminism, performance activism and academia.  We are a voice for disenfranchised womyn and youth, until they are empowered to assert themselves and use their own voice.  We generate and disseminate new discourse and dialogue on girls, womyn and gender issues through creative expression.  As activist artists, we write, direct and produce engaging stage productions and multimedia art shows.  In addition, we work with education and community-based organizations to effect social change and justice that will result in greater equality, freedom, and fuller lives for girls, womyn and youth. We work around such issues as: reproductive justice, rape, domestic violence, fatherless/motherless daughters, children with substance abuse parents, girls/womyn being healthy sexual beings, mass media images, womyn in prison, the education system, and using the arts as a means of healing from trauma and building healthy self-esteem. Our interactive and thought-provoking workshops provide girls and womyn with a safe and empowering space to be unapologetically girl/womon.
