ABOUT BLACK ARTS MATTER
BlackARTSMatter aims to assert the power of the arts in movements towards justice as black folks. February 19 through February 28, they offer engagements that include a series of panels, public talks, workshops, and play readings centered on Black experiences and the importance of Black epistemologies and aesthetics. The events gather artists, activists, and thinkers to facilitate dialogue between students, faculty, and the community themed around mobilizing theatre communities around Black Lives Matter; and interrogating the potential of theatre's unique contributions to the Black Lives Matter movement. They invite an array of Black artists, activists, and thinkers to come together for this convening to both present their work and strategize new ways of thinking about art's integral role in the Black Lives Matter movement.
In collaboration with: Mesa Arts Center, Arizona Commission on the Arts, Black Theatre Troupe, and South Mountain Community College.
