Ideas about Black women: how can art shift perspectives?
Événement
What happens when we create stories that are outside of our experience? Or when we’re creating stories that reflect our experience but are for audiences that do not share our cultural, economic, or racial background? Art, theatre, storytelling, and literature are all means through which we tell and share stories. They are bridge builders that allow us to connect across difference and understand perspectives that mirror or expand our own. The bridges become complicated when the subjects of stories do not see themselves represented by the experiences being told about them. Building from experience at the Black Theatre Workshop and other experiences of representation in art and culture, we’ll come together to discuss how women, specifically Black women, are perceived and created through art in its various mediums. Join us to explore how stereotypes are constructed, reconstructed, and unmade through art. Whose perspectives get highlighted through artistic creation? How are stories created and told? In what ways can we create and tell stories outside of our own perspectives?
