About the Show
May 1, 2025
Symbolizing the empowerment of Black queer individuals as authors of their own narratives, Bard Africans Night explores the concept of “bard” in two ways: the way many Nigerian-Americans adapt their West African accents by incorporating rhotic Rs to make bad into bard, and the modern Shakespearean notion of the Bard.
The evening includes a live excerpt from Bad Africans, a play written and performed by Ibimina Dominique Thompson, followed by a screening of the short film Love is Like. The evening concludes with an artist talkback with Sementari and co-collaborators Ashe Jaafaru and Mariah Hanson.
