d'bi.young anitafrika - on coast salish territories, vancouver

Join us for a night with d'bi.young anitafrika, a Toronto-based, Jamaican
born and raised dub-poet performer and writer. Her work is prolific,
compelling and political. She weaves stories that explore issues of
colonialism, racism, sexism, while fostering revolutionary change. Her
work as a dub poet includes five albums, including collaborations with
Beau Dixon, Gregory Roy, Cuba's Paso Firme, and Assata Shakur. d’bi.young
became well known for Blood.claat, part of a trilogy about a girl's
journey to womanhood. Her writings have appeared in Fireweed Feminist
Quarterly, Contemporary Verse, and The African Canadian Theatre Review.
Her new production company focuses on promoting radical artistic works.
More information about her work can be found at http://www.dbiyoung.net/

Don't miss this rare performance with d'bi.young anitafrika and other
local artists and activists, followed by an open mic (don't be shy! we
encourage youth, elders, those with one week of experience, those with ten
years of performing under their belt, singers, storytellers, emcees, poets
to all feel welcome on the mic).

Proceeds to d'bi and No One is Illegal-Vancouver.
