This February, Shake! takes on the theme #StatesOfViolence. Poet, performer, and Shake! co-facilitator Zena Edwards writes: In the shadow of discourses about institutionalised racism and a sinister growth of the prison industrial complex, millions watched and condemned the deaths of Eric Garner, Tamir Rice and Mike Brown, unarmed black males, who are among the ‘one killed every 28 hours ‘ by the hand of US police. ... The law upholds these ‘justified’ deaths throwing in to deep question the integrity of a justice system seen to be the spine of a democracy forced through conflict in other mineral resourced countries across the planet. ... This is an idea of some of the subjects we will cover in Shake!’s ‘States of Violence’ intensive course in February. 3. After Neoliberalism?
