Quilted Steel: A Choreopoem by Mahogany L. Browne

In the tradition of Ntozake Shange, Mahogany L. Browne’s choreopoem Quilted Steel is a literary event that brings the critical voices of system-impacted Black women to the stage.

Braided from the real-life source material of PEN America 2018 Writing For Justice Fellow Priscilla Ocen’s interviews, this powerful choral performance poem centers the pain, lives and dreams of formerly incarcerated women in the form of a short film featuring actresses Dominique Toney, Yazmin Monet Watkins and Jasmine Williams.
