Episode Details

In 1876, during the official centennial celebration of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia, Susan B. Anthony and four members of the National Woman Suffrage Association interrupted the proceedings to present the Declaration of Rights of Women. More than 100 years later, inspired by and honoring the suffragists' act of protest, Make a Declaration is a live restaging and performance recording in which CUNY students use the human mic technique to present their own declarations in dialogue with the historic text. (5 mins, Documentary, Dir. Tara Mateik)

"Make A Declaration", directed by Tara Mateik, is part of Frame By Frame: CUNY Queer Portraits, a partnership with CUNY TV and CUNY Queer Portraits to showcase the remarkable talent of the CUNY community.
