ALIVE! Preserving the Legacy of Black Storytelling through Art

As part of the U of A Black Faculty Speaker Series, artists, educators, and performers across spoken word, visual art, and dance will come together for a dynamic, multidisciplinary experience. 

The event will open with the Tucson screening of Damon Davis' Radio Opera, "Ligia Mare," which opened at Carnegie Hall to a sold out crowd, and continue with two performance poetry pieces, and close with a stirring number performed by the U of A Traveling Dance Ensemble, under the leadership of Duane Cyrus. 

The conversation will be honest, compelling, and entertaining–how can it not be with seven artists on one stage?
