Queendom is an interactive outdoor performative experience that explores the dream and possibility of reparations. Queendom conceptualizes how the promise of “40 acres and a mule” was thought about and discussed in the African American community during Reconstruction. Forty acres of land and a mule were to be bestowed upon enslaved peoples who were freed in America in the reparations package approved by President Lincoln’s administration; it was a promise later retracted after Lincoln’s assassination. In Queendom, I will imagine a world where enslaved people take hold of the minimal resources afforded to them in the fictional town of Queendom. Queendom is situated historically in the American South during Reconstruction circa 1883. The play focuses on how a team of women work together to create their lives while preparing for the annual harvest festival, known as the Kuumba Festival. On the eve of Kuumba, the women of Queendom discuss traditions, the trauma associated with being Black in America, their dreams, and what still haunts them. This fictional town will be physically manifested in the landscape of Stone Quarry Art Park, an outdoor art space in Cazenovia, Madison County, New York.
