Roundtable Session
Hosted by: Films

Zavobe Oyen’ike (The Wise Womb Deserves Honor and Care) highlights the largely unseen work of African-descended women and wombed Spiritual Activists/healers in Atlanta, GA and their comrades. It follows their journeys from the murder of Rayshard Brooks to the current Stop Cop City movement. The collective of healers share intimate insights into the personal, spiritual, and real costs of community activism. Black wombed Spiritual Activists have a strong, although underrepresented, lineage as foundational supporters of Liberatory freedom movements throughout the diaspora. This documentary offers solidarity and wisdom from seasoned Spiritual Activists and elders to support other healers on their journeys. Responsive to this year’s Presidential call to “chart pathways for understanding and ensuring a distant but visible and viable horizon of freedom for all,” Zavobe Oyen’ke is a powerful and unapologetic call to support these luminaries and imaginaries of freedom they open.
