HERE I AM

An acclaimed original production of The Laboratory for Global Performance & Politics at Georgetown University.

Written & Performed by Mélisande Short-Colomb, Here I Am weaves narrative, music, and multimedia imagery, inviting the audience on an experiential journey celebrating her 11 generations of maternal grandmothers and exploring her complicated relationship with the institution that enslaved her ancestors. Me´lisande Short-Colomb is a direct descendant of families sold into slavery by the Society of Jesus in 1838 to keep Georgetown University solvent, (The GU 272), and has been an anchoring member of President’s Task Force Examining Loyola’s Connections to Slavery.
