Ariel of the Elements by Evan Williams
Content and Access Note
Amrita Dhar, Project Director
Kayley DeLong, Project Graduate Associate
This project is a collaboration between authors, theatre practitioners, academics, and artists working in a variety of modes. The participants reflect on their relationships to Shakespeare’s texts in places and times of postcolonial inheritance. Our use of the quote marks in Shakespeare in the “Post”Colonies serves as recognition of the complex and ever-evolving relationships that all people have with colonialism and empire.
Please be advised that the conversations that constitute this project occasionally refer to difficult and potentially triggering matters, including colonialism, racism, sexism, nativism, ableism, capitalism, and heteropatriarchy.
It is our hope that this project centres those most acutely impacted by colonial and imperial violence in a way that invites everyone, regardless of background, to learn about a variety of remarkable postcolonial Shakespeareans and their exceptional work.
