Through movie screenings, facilitated discussions and performances, the Philadelphia Folklore Project, as producer, aims to illuminate how these female vocalists are indeed heroes in our midst. Audiences will have the opportunity to recognize the ways in which Fatu Gayflor, Marie Nyenabo, Zaye Tete and Tokay Tomah have responded to the trauma and loss left in the wake of war and other forms of violence. We are reaching out to police officers, policy-makers, educators and students, social service providers and others to shine a light on what immigrant artists have already done -- and might yet do -- to combat injustice, given the exceptional skills and knowledge they bring with them.
