As we close Black History Month, the MA in Applied Theatre (MAAT) invites you to join us for When Walls Become Bridges: Reflections on Black Women in Education Who Have Applied Theatre Cause the Schoolin' Ain't Enuf, the opening panel of the 7th Annual Applied Theatre Racial Justice Conference. The theme of the conference is: Imagining Futures Beyond Silos, Boundaries, Borders: Artists as Cultural Workers in Advancing Intersectional Racial Equity.
In this panel, five dynamic applied theatre practitioners and graduates of the MAAT program will discuss their missions, art, and perspectives as Black women who engage communities in building bridges and dismantling borders in education while following in the tradition of Black women luminaries and practitioners who have also used their voices and art as a tool for social justice and systemic change.
Panelists include Dorcas Davis ('14), Professor Ariyan Johnson ('14), Dr. Alexis Jemal ('21), Shamilia McBean Tocruray ('13), and Adeola Adegbola-White ('15).
The session will be moderated by applied theatre practitioner and MAAT faculty-member Ah-Keisha McCans.
