In honor of International Women's Day, QWOCMAP presents a rare collection of powerful documentaries that showcases the artistic contributions and legacies of renowned queer women of color musicians - Avotja, Carolyn Brandy, Afia Walking Tree, Amber Field, and Cuban hip hop trio Las Krudas. GRACE AND FIERCENESS dir Zemaya Martinez 18 min AVOTCJA dir Ava Square-Levias 22 min DRUM JOY LOVE dir Shawn Nealy 17 min JAGADAMBA, MOTHER OF THE UNIVERSE dir Amber Field 10 min NON RESIDENT ALIEN dir Alejandro Cruz 15 min Spiritual activist Afia Walking Tree drums a rhythmic path with GRACE AND FIERCENESS. With hiss and sizzle, acclaimed AVOTCJA traverses poetry, music and performance. For 40 years, legendary drummer Carolyn Brandy has infused her percussion with DRUM LOVE JOY. A queer Korean adoptee, Amber Field uses her breath and rhythm to sing and heal her own spirit in JAGADAMBA, MOTHER OF THE UNIVERSE. While yearning for family and homeland, each member of the Afro-Cuban hip-hop trio Las Krudas blazes radical trails to artistic and social freedom as a NON-RESIDENT ALIEN.
