Ellen Marie HinchcliffeDirty the Bones-On Being White and Other Lies (History as Medicine) by Ellen Marie Hinchcliffe With humor, history, and 37 years experience as a white person in hand, Ellen Marie Hinchcliffe goes digging in her closet for skeletons, working to dismantle the fundamentals of whiteness and confront white supremacy. Dirty the Bones-On Being White and Other Lies (History as Medicine) is neither a confessional piece--a place to admit racial "sins" and ask for redemption from people of color--nor a piece where the "good white" can tell the "bad white" how really bad they are. Hinchcliffe, poet, filmmaker, activist and performance artist, attempts to transform the idea that racism is "just a few bad apples" into a more complex view of the white power structure as a pervasive and destructive system that negatively affects everyone, including white people. Laugh your ass off, cry your eyes dry, tell yourself the truth the best you can, all together now survive. Hinchcliffe is mentored by former Naked Stages artist/activist, Molly Van Avery.
