Moca Geffen Center

Since slavery, art has aided, shaped, narrated, amplified, and galvanized movements for Black liberation. From Negro spirituals to the Black Power Black Arts Movement, art has been a cornerstone of the Black experience. Black Lives Matter follows these traditions using art both to amplify ongoing fights and to help envision a future where liberation for Black communities is a reality. The Art of Movement Building will discuss the why and how we have and can, respectively, use art to fight for freedom. Panelists: Patrisse Cullors, Damon Davis, Erin Christovale, LaKeisha Leek, Lili Bernard. Moderated by Mervyn Marcano.
