Sinopsis

Renisha McBride.áTamir Rice.áJordan Davis.áTrayvon Martin.áMichael Brown.áFreddie Gray.áAiyana Stanley-Jones.ááAt a certain point, BIPOC families must have 'the Conversation,' a discussion and set of instructions for surviving a world of policing, presumed guilt, and the racial inequities that threaten our very lives.áItâÇÖs labeled 'the Conversation,' but this discussion is never an intimate moment, never a one-time event.áInstead itâÇÖs a constant choir of dissent and disembodied voices whispering and wailing night and day.áThrough a mix of lyric, found text, and hybridity,áHow to Kill Yourself Instead of Your Childrenáhighlights some of these voices:áadults and children, murderers and victims, bookshelves and wanted posters, carnival barkers and political pundits. Inspired by Audre LordeâÇÖs 'Power'áHow to Kill Yourself Instead of Your Childrenácalls upon the past and present in an attempt to find a language higher than the circular rhetoric that falls in and out of mass media, to hold a conversation that is constant even in silence, to escape the cycle of violence and Black death.
