PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
Shaffer's vivid account of a year on the road in Africa, much of it in Ghana, where she worked on building schools and other volunteer projects with a variety of people she met on the road.. A performance artist and travel writer in the midst of romantic turmoil back in California, Shaffer clearly uses Africa, in part, as an escape (and some thorny questions of race and privilege could use some more attention). The material was adapted for her solo show: Let My Enemy Live Long.
