Directed by Maren Ward
Amoke’s project, Good Old Pussy and Old Good Pussy (aka Good Old Kit Kat and Old Good Kit Kat) is about Black women’s UNSAIDS about AGING; mind, body, and sexuality. This work explores the historical and continual objectification of Black female bodies from slavery to medical progress and bioethics, educational institutions, the workplace and contemporary media images.

BIOGRAPHY: Amoke Kubat is a ”Northsider for life” who has been involved in empowering mothers and families since 1987. She is a Yoruba Priestess, retired teacher, artist and writer. Amoke partners with community artists, activists and organizations to bridge African/African American culture and historical contributions into transformative actions for healing, and building sustainable families and communities. Amoke uses writing and art making to speak truth to power and to hold a position of wellness in an America sick with inequalities and inequities. She self-published her memoir, Missing Mama: My Story of Loss, Sorrow and Healing in 2012.

Amoke is CEO of YO MAMA! The Art of Mothering Workshops. These art-making support groups are for mothers of all ages.
