The visionaries   writers     directors      artists     vessels of love does not hurt… AquaMoon, camil.williams and veronica precious bohanan, is a Chicago-based writing, performance and teaching-artist team. The duo negates fitting into boxes and advocates for reproductive, social, transformative and restorative justice. camil and veronica bridge the gap between the streets, hip-hop feminism/womanism, performance activism, and academia. They write, direct and produce engaging interdisciplinary stage productions and multi-media art shows, using the arts as popular education—as well as works with education and community- based organizations to effect social change, resulting in greater equality, freedom, and fuller lives for womyn and youth. The duo's interactive and thought-provoking artistry, two-womon and full-cast performances, and educational workshops provide girls and womyn with a safe space to be unapologetically girl/womon, politically conscious, academically inclined, street savvy and healthy sexual beings. In the same loving manner, AquaMoon provides boys and men a framework that challenges misogyny and offers balanced alternatives of interacting with, loving, healing and respecting girls/womyn. They’ve traveled the U.S. and abroad doing their womyn- centered work at such places as Discovery High School and Queens College of New York, Bards College-Simmons Rock, MA, University of Alaska-Fairbanks, and the Illinois Youth Detention Center. Their stage productions include Aqua Beats and Moon Verses: Volume 1, Volume II: Brotha...Wassup Sun?, ShowUp and SideKick Radio Show and Dont Call Me Sassy. Photograph by Indian Summer Day (c) 2009
