Charlique C. Rolle – 2026 KSA

Charlique C. Rolle is a multidisciplinary storyteller, cultural conservationist, community + cultural design specialist, and a human who exists in the world to love recklessly, build faithfully, and create fearlessly. A native of The Bahamas, she draws on the wisdom, ritual, and embodied knowing of Black womanhood across the diaspora. Her work lives at the intersection of storytelling, spirituality, embodiment, ritual, memory, and collective liberation. Through theater, movement, music, poetry, immersive experience, and community-rooted practice, she creates spaces of remembrance, restoration, reimagination, and return. She is especially interested in storytelling as quilombo: spaces of refuge, resistance, joy, play, experimentation, and becoming.
