EST/Sloan Project presents a Reading of
ReWombed
written by Nikki Brake-Sillá
ReWombed asks, in a world where nothing is believed until it can be replicated, when did science lose its faith?
We are sorry to announce that there will not be ASL interpreters at our reading of ReWombed. We had hoped to make this presentation accessible to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. We sincerely apologize that we are not able to provide this important service.
All First Light festival readings are free, reservations are encouraged.
Nikki Brake-Sillá is a Black playwright and filmmaker with an invisible disability, who tried to check out of the hospital with her infant, A.M.A. During the day, she works in a research lab and merges science and art to expose people to inherent bias in the medical system. She weaves stories that give urgency to folx who birth, (AGAINST MEDICAL ADVICE), COVID frontline workers, (SILOS), and exposes the challenges of uterine transplant research trials, (REWOMBED). She has been commissioned by EST/Sloan, Revolution Shakespeare, Elevate Theatre, and Black Music City. Nikki received her B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania and her M.F.A. from the City College of New York. But what gives her the most joy is giving someone their likeness on screen and stage.
