Join us for our FREE upcoming Art in Activism Workshop, where we're pioneering a unique approach to youth empowerment. Our innovative plan involves pairing young individuals with their areas of interest, offering them invaluable hands-on experience in bringing a powerful play to life.
Following this transformative experience, we're excited to present two exclusive showings of "Purlie Victorious," inviting attendees to delve deeper into the themes and messages of the production. The first showing will feature an enlightening talk by Dr. Carol Bunch Davis, esteemed author of "Be Loyal to Yourselves": Jim Crow Segregation, Black Cultural Nationalism, and US Cultural Memory in Ossie Davis’ Purlie Victorious.
For our second showing, attendees can anticipate a matinee performance, complemented by a special playbill signing and an engaging Q&A session with the talented cast.
In collaboration with Galveston Art Center, we've also curated an exciting opportunity to culminate the workshop with a captivating visual art project. This project will be showcased in an upcoming Art Walk, promises to be a memorable fusion of creativity and activism.
