About this listen

 Celebrate Black History Month All Year Black History/Black Futures: The Art of Resistance features Hampton Roads’ own award-winning playwright, performer, filmmaker, and professor of Theatre at Old Dominion University, Brittney S. Harris, in conversation with Grammy-nominated, multi-award winning young composer, violinist and professor at The Juilliard School in NYC, Curtis Stewart. Renowned Historian and Endowed Professor of Virginia Black History and Culture, Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander, will moderate this discussion, exploring each guest’s artistic genre. Together, they uncover stories of resistance through music and theatre in the past and present. What does resistance look like or sound like in an artistic medium? How can art affect lasting change? How do their genres intersect to tell the past story of resistance and represent the ongoing resistance to racism in the artistic field? What does the future of composing and playwrighting look like? How does their work now shape the future of African Americans in the arts?Copyright 2024 Drs. Stephanie Richmond, Cassandra Newby-Alexander, Mrs. Hillary McAndrew-Plate Art Entertainment & Performing Arts World
