RAGÁS, BECAUSE THE SEA HAS NO PLACE TO GRAB by Maria Isabel Vaz and Sónia Vaz Borges

Presentation and reading circle with Carla Fernandes, Cristina Roldão and Flávio Almada 

Ragás is a Cape Verdean Creole word for the space created between the waist and the knees when sitting: the lap. Here, it's a place to find affection, a place to be hugged, protected and cared for, a place to reconnect and return to the memories that others carry for you when migration means both leaving and being left behind.
