The University of Johannesburg’s Arts & Culture, a division of the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture (FADA) in partnership with the University of California Riverside, proudly present ‘DREAMSCAPE' written by Prof Rickerby Hinds. 

"Dreamscape", a hip-hop spoken word, and physical theatre performance depicts the death and inner life of a young woman, Myeisha Mills, as she dreams through the impact of the twelve bullets that kill her. This performance is a meditation and reimagining of the night of December 28, 1998, when nineteen-year-old Tyisha Miller was shot and killed by four Riverside Police Department officers while she lay unconscious in a car. These performances offer a powerfully clear-eyed examination of the relationships between race, the body, and violence.
