From the September 24, 2020 OHMA Workshop

The (M)others is an oral history performance that explores the stories of four women brought together by the unimaginable experience of losing a loved one to police violence. This documentary performance weaves together their interviews to explore the traumatic effect of the event on their lives. Through their memories, we are introduced to a young man with dreams of playing professional football, a new father just getting to know his son, a former addict on the brink of turning his life around, and a sixteen-year-old boy shot just a day before his seventeenth birthday. The (M)others brings their untold stories to the stage. Workshop attendees are invited to witness a Zoom production of The (M)others and join Nikki for a talkback about the project, her process, and black feminist methods for staging racial trauma.
