Award: Action / $15,000
Purpose: To support The Rosa Logues, an initiative enabling women from The Dear Rosa Project to transform their oral history interviews about living with HIV/AIDS into monologues for performance at The Rosa Logues Festival.
The Rosa Logues is an immersive opportunity for 25 New Jersey-based women of The Dear Rosa Project—an oral history project dedicated to amplifying the voices of women living with of HIV/AIDS—to learn how to transform their oral history interview into a monologue that they will have the option to perform at The Rosa Logues Festival.
The Rosa Logues will support safe and trauma-informed monologue development in a peer space led by a group of talented instructors, and the festival will support each woman who is interested in participating with a chance to step into her own spotlight.
Earlier phases of the project’s development were funded by an NJCH Incubation Grant.
